Large banks and more recently pension funds have suddenly become infatuated with gold. They chant the mantras that gold bugs have known for years: gold is a store of value; owning gold is financial insurance; an ounce of gold will always buy a good suit. The idea is that if the economy continues to weaken and share prices decline, a strategic allocation of the precious metal will hedge and offset some of the losses in the financial sector.

Bob Prechter is issuing a second edition of Conquer the Crash with 188 new pages of real-time commentary on markets and the mounting prospects for deflation -- rather than inflation -- to become the true threat to the U.S. economy. In the first edition, he described dozens of today’s financial and economic troubles. He not only explained why they would happen but also advised readers how to protect themselves from a deflationary depression. Many of the events forecast in the book still lie ahead.

The question is, why have banks fallen so far off the pedestal of safety and soundness? Why are they more like the walking wounded, waiting for the heart attack that might kill them?

After two years of what has been described as financial "doomsday," "Dante's Inferno," and "the Devil's Arcade" -- some big-named banking stocks have started to boldly go where no corporate share has gone in a really, really long time: UP. According to many mainstream experts, the green shoots and bright spots are surefire signs that the worst is finally behind the sector

If external events drive trend changes in financial markets, then the "road" of fundamental analysis would go in two simple directions: Bullish news would drive prices north, while prices would go south on bearish news. THE END That, however, is not the case. In fact, the "fundamental" freeway has more twists and turns than a Midwestern corn maze.

The long-awaited "Stress Test" for banks is complete and the prognosis is in. We'll spare you the 38-page report of unintelligible Fed-speak and skip to the bottom line... But what happened to the test that warned of banks impending crisis long before any obvious signs of weakness appeared to the public?

Suppose that all the conventional financial wisdom you've ever heard was written onto a large chalkboard -- and then someone gave you an eraser, a box of chalk, and the knowledge of how financial markets Really work. That may be the kind of vision you'd have after reading Bob Prechter’s best selling book “Conquer The Crash.” As the saying goes, you'll never think about the social, financial, or political world in the same way again.

From the time the founders drafted the Constitution, Presidents and the Congress have often been in a tug-of-war over the scope of executive power. But this time, it's different. The expansion of executive power is not because of national security, war, or political scandal. This time, the president wants power without precedent because the debt-based, monopoly-currency financial system has failed.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
