A few notes from another web site

    A few notes from another website.

    Today’s not the important day in analytical terms, it’s tomorrow, the “day after.” If the market remains internally strong through tomorrow’s session, then Primary wave 2  up from the March low will have a new lease on another rally phase. If tomorrow shows little or no follow-through, then today is likely a one-day short-covering squeeze that runs the bears out of the market just in time for the next leg down.

      …….. it appears that gold has made a top, at least according to the way we interpret the subdivisions of this market. If correct, it would be a significant tug lower for equities. If not correct, it would indicate that all markets are rallying together.

    These guys have also been

    These guys have also been way wrong.   Personally, I think they have great analysis, but have gotten too big, and thus HBB will throw money against their prediction to harvest the shorts....

    I was thinking that too -- they're pretty big now and they're playing the game with all their cards on the table while the govt and big banks reveal nothing.  Makes sense that the big guys would fade the EWI analysis.

    Are you still listening to

    Are you still listening to them?

    More Prechter back pedalling and shuffling! These guys have been so WRONG about gold for so long, I can't b elievethey have any subscribers left. Myself included.

    Oh, but please feed their marketing machine and buy all their expensive rehashed and reworked materials.

    I really don't like  to bad mouth anybody, but I hazard to guess many have lost much due their postulating. I did last year and would have buried myself had I listened to them this year, before I knew better as Valdez said (Valdez Is Coming, an old movie worth watching Laughing)

    When I confronted them a few months back regarding their bad calls, I got some kind of convoluted canned reply about how it it was best to leave some things unsaid that just left me scratching my head.

     

     

     

    That's why I cancelled my subscription.

    That's why I cancelled my subscription.  Don't get me wrong.  Their newsletters are very interesting to read.  Many times they did present great logical cases for their forecast.  However, we all know that this market is far from logical.  For the market to rally like this after accelerating 10.2% unemployment rate, it's as illogical as it can be.  But hey...their newsletters are definitely good entertainment.  Please keep sharing those newsletters for those of us who discontinued the subscriptions.

    they are only human

    the EW folks are only human but the markets are not. Give them a break, they try to understand the markets through the prism of EW rules. These rules are often rendered almost useless at times because of the vagaries of the markets.

    Matt and Steve try to understand the markets by looking though multiple prisms if you will. The big difference as I see it is that they are not wedded to any particular prism, opting to let the markets dictate the understanding. They're not perfect either. No one is. But because they are not primarily invested in one view, they are far more flexible and that makes all the difference in my opinion.

    Interesting, that the web site did

    Interesting, that the web site did not mention the dollar.  If it remains in a strong down trend, isn't the market going to rise relentlessly?

    Here is what was said about the Dollar

    The [U.S. Dollar Index]continues to be the lynchpin in our “All the Same” market scenario and today’s new low beneath 74.94 is helping allow the recent upward push in equities, as well as all other asset classes. The alternate interpretation for wave 5 of (C), which we published Friday, is playing out. Wave v (circle) of 5 started at the November 3 high at 76.82 and is in its very late stages. Today’s dollar index new low was not confirmed by dollar/swiss, which so far remains above its October 21 low of 1.0035, nor the Loonie, which remains well above its October 15 low at 1.0205. The dollar index has a tight cluster of support at 74.46-74.50, which we discussed Friday (see chart). This range remains as good a target as any. A rally above 75.98 would be the initial sign of a bottom.
