Are you weary of sorting through all the “good news – bad news” dialogue? The financial media would have you believe that everything is coming up roses.

How Big is Your House?
Does size still matter?

by Jeff Reckseit
9/10/2009 5:30:00 PM

One need only glance at the front page of the local newspaper for a sense of how things are. The Baltimore Sun recently featured an above-the-fold article which said that the median size of a new single-family home was smaller for the first time in 14 years.

Hyper-inflation?
Or deflation.

Unemployment figures are improving.  The housing market is showing signs of life.  The stimulus package seems to be working.  And the Fed maintains that the downturn appears to have hit bottom.  So what’s not to like?

Does This Look Like INFLATION To You? We Didn't Think So

by Nico Isaac

Is it time to pin on those Whip Inflation Now buttons once again? According to many mainstream experts, the answer is YES. They're leading the charge for a "WIN 2" campaign in the United States, and filling the financial airwaves with references to the 1970's oil crisis, wage freezes, and wheelbarrows full of cash.

Banks Need Therapy, Too
But maybe they shouldn't count on the couch

by Alan Hall

...a recent Atlanta Journal Constitution headline: “Therapists helping builders cope during housing slump.” The article explained how “Every builder seems to know a colleague swamped in debt, and a few know friends in the business who have taken their lives.” A year ago, few imagined that smiling builders talking on cell phones in big trucks would soon be seeking emotional support on therapists’ couches.

Why “Conquer The Crash” Is More Relevant Today Than Ever Before

by Nico Isaac
8/7/2008 4:15:00 PM
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.”

Do Home Prices Look INFLATIONARY To You?
Core C.P.I. is at 2.3%, overall C.P.I. at 5.0%, and the Fed funds rate at 2% -- is THAT inflation?

by Nico Isaac

The only way that today’s home prices could possibly look “inflationary” is if you’re standing on your head. Which begs the question: If the most dependable hedge against inflation -- namely real estate -- is crashing like the approval ratings of the U.S. Congress, then where does main street get off saying “Inflation” is the bane of our economy’s existence?

Lumber Futures: Building Opportunity
The deep descent in lumber prices began ONE year BEFORE the U.S. housing market bubble burst.

by Nico Isaac
2/11/2008 12:15:00 PM

Lumber prices stand at their lowest levels in thirty years, Canadian Timber mills are shutting down, and the entire future of the forestry industry is up in the air. Contrary to mainstream opinion, however, the lumber bear was not built on the crumbling housing market. And, in the February 28 Daily Futures Junctures, we present detailed price charts that reveal the INTERNAL force behind the market's changes in trend: Elliott Wave patterns.

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.
