I recently sat down to watch Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland," and immediately had a strange feeling of deja vu. Then it hit me: Time and again I fall down the mainstream financial "rabbit-hole" and enter a world where nonsense is the rule and reality is the ultimate intruder. Case in point: the widely held notion that a leading Nasdaq is a surefire bullish sign.

On Monday March 1, I came across a striking image on the front page of a popular online news site. Under the caption "Leap of Faith," the drawing depicted a smiling investor effortlessly hurdling across a wide, open chasm from "Great Recession" to "Financial Stability." That about sums up the general viewpoint of the mainstream financial majority.

One short year ago, the US stock market was locked in a gut-wrenching tailspin. The major averages had plunged to their lowest level since Alan Greenspan had a full head of brown hair (i.e. 1987). And, according to the mainstream financial literature, "DOW-nte's Inferno" had officially arrived. It was, for the usual majority, time to abandon all hope all ye who enter here.

Once upon a time, the term "Black Monday" was to Wall Street what the name "Lord Voldemort" was to Hogwarts. It turned the air freezing cold and sent traders flinching around every corner in fear of a repeat of the October 19, 1987 or October 28, 1929 meltdown. That was then. Now, a widespread belief in a new "global bull market" has put fears of a Black Monday repeat to rest....

Long story short: The recent, 400-plus point (4.5%) nosedive in the Dow Jones Industrial Average wasn't part of the new-bull-market blueprint. According to the usual experts, the Dow was on a one-way winning streak after soaring to a fresh, yearly high on Sept. 23.

Over the past few months, Wall Street's favorite watering holes have served up a deadly "stocktail" -- the Un-Surely Temple. Includes: a splash of fear, a dash of uncertainty, and a steady flow of extreme volatility. For those who partake, the hangover only gets worse.

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.
