Everywhere you look, from the Red Carpet to Wall Street, gold is definitely in "fashion." As for why, one word comes to mind: safe-haven. See, according to the mainstream financial experts, the more unstable the global economy, the greater the appeal for the precious metal. These two charts from EWI President Bob Prechter offer another perspective.

Many investors are blissfully unaware of the fact that many muni funds use leverage to pay high distributions. This added layer of risk makes these funds subject to the same liquidity concerns that plague other risky assets -- and as such, many muni bond funds act similarly to stocks.

On Thursday, February 4, gold prices took a front-row seat on the Nosedive Express: In just two hours of morning trading, the yellow metal plummeted more than $40/ounce -- its fastest price drop in more than 14 months. As for why -- well, according to the mainstream experts, a slew of negative economic news took the wind out of gold's upwardly-mobile sails; namely:

Of the many forward looking market indicators we at EWI employ, one of the most interesting tools (and least discussed in the financial media) is the DJIA priced in gold. We've been tracking the Dow/Gold ratio for years and it has serves our subscribers well. Here's a good example.

The bad news is out for all to contemplate -- the 2000s were the worst decade ever for U.S. stocks. But subscribers to Elliott Wave International's forecasting services already knew that. So, the next question is, what has been the best investment during recessions?

How many of you woke up on the morning of December 4 and thought to yourself, Today, gold prices are going to take a ride on the Nose-Dive Express? Specifically, the yellow metal was going to plummet more than $60, erasing one-seventh of its entire rally for all of 2009 in one single trading day.

Just when you think you've got a handle on the way certain fundamentals affect the market of your choice -- POOF! The rules change. Take, for example, the supposed set-in-stone logic that prices of crude oil rise when two things happen: The U.S. dollar loses and gold gains. As recently as late October 2009 -- with oil prices soaring to their highest level for the year -- this correlation was a constant mainstay of the mainstream financial media. Here, the following news sources from the time...

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.

According to the usual experts, Gold is officially the eighth wonder of the world, with prices containing more upside potential than a World Series fly ball. One look at this riveting close-up of gold prices versus the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar since 1913 will put all of your answers to rest...

What an interesting day of trading we saw in stocks on Wednesday (Sept. 23.) On the same day, we had: 1. A single event -- the Fed's interest rate announcement; 2. The stock market's bullish -- and -- bearish "reaction" to it, and 3. Several news stories explaining why stocks rallied -- and -- declined after the event. One question remains: Where will stocks go from here?

Since always, the mainstream financial experts engage in what I like to call "Operation Cheap Suit." They "wear" certain ideas like secondhand clothes, carelessly taking them on and off as the occasion sees fit. Case in point: The disposable notion of Gold's safe-haven status.

Left on your own, the world of technical analysis of financial markets can feel a lot like entering the dauntingly vast online dating pool. After running a basic search for a "best fit," you end up with 50 pages of candidates whose idea of "middle age" is knowing who Methuselah was ... personally. It's well worth it to sign on with the experts... and now you can.

Unemployment is high. Earnings are horrible. Deficits are out of control. House prices are still under pressure. And auto sales are flat. Yet the stock market is up about 40% from its March lows.
Let’s say that you’re convinced the market is going to collapse, -- so you sell. And you get stopped out. Let’s say you sell again. And get stopped out. Sell again. Stopped out. So you wait for the market to turn down and you sell into the decline. The market bounces and you get stopped out yet again. Then the market goes back down in earnest – but without you. Does this sound familiar? If so, it doesn’t have to be that way.

After two years of suffering through what has aptly been called "financial hell," many in the mainstream say the torture is finally over. According to them, the fire & brimstone is about to become fortune & boom. Well, in a special "Double" (text + video) issue of the brand-new June 2009 Elliott Wave Theorist, Bob Prechter recognizes a "swift return of all the old beliefs" in a new bull market. His next step is to reveal whether those beliefs are based in fact or fantasy.

In case you hadn't noticed: Over the past year of financial turmoil, the "safe haven" premium of precious metals has offered about as much support as a rubber ducky in a tsunami. Despite a string of powerful rallies, silver and gold remain well below their March 2008 peaks...

Gold in particular follows the Wave Principle impeccably, at least in a world of fiat paper currencies. Gold is a wonderful reflector of the Wave Principle because unlike, say, pork bellies, it is traded by people around the globe, so the prime mover is the psychology of human beings at the most shared and basic level.

Question: How do you know when it’s time to buy gold?
Answer: According to the mainstream experts, it's when clouds of smoke start coming out of the Fed’s overheated bailout bazooka. In other words: N-O-W. Are they right?

The problem is, financial markets are often irrational, and appear to take perverse delight in punishing "rational" assumptions. Just look at the past decade: if gold and Treasury bond prices can't simultaneously fall, how did they manage rise together for 10 years?

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.
