European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet has proven throughout this financial crisis that he is his own man when it comes to navigating the euro-land banking system through the deflation and debt deleveraging storm. And will likely save Europe from overspending.

Why Choose Keynes Over Friedman?
Let’s give quantitative monetary policy another chance.

by Bill Fox, Senior Bonds Analyst

With trillions of dollars committed to financial rescues, it seems that we now have decided that elected officials in Congress are superior arbiters of economic rehabilitation. Are we really to think that a polarized group of lawyers, doctors and who-knows-what-they-did-before will be prudent in their spending? Given the choice of the lesser of two evils, I will take Bernanke’s resume against anyone's in Congress.

Higher Fed-ucation: Will Rate Cuts Rescue The U.S. Economy?

One of the top-selling Halloween costumes this year was a latex mask of Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's bearded likeness. Seems rather fitting, considering -- The economy-saving capabilities of the Federal Reserve are an illusory façade. For some, such a statement runs a close second to blasphemy. I say, let the facts, NOT blind faith, speak.

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.
