It’s been two years since the sovereign debt crisis crashed onto the European shores. And, despite 1-plus trillion euros in emergency bailout loans, the region’s economy has -- as my British friends would say -- “gone pear-shaped.” So, is this what rock bottom feels like?

To continue the "global investments" theme started by the recent interview with EWI's Asian-Pacific analyst about the markets in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, I also sat down with our own Brian Whitmer, EWI's European stock market analyst. -- Brian, these days it's easier than ever to get exposure to global markets, especially given the explosion in ETFs. But there are too many markets to focus on, and too many opinions about them. You chose Elliott wave analysis as your market-forecasting method. Why Elliott? Why not just watch the news, like most investors? Brian Whitmer: To be successful in the market, you need...

Let's hear it for European equities. The major stock markets across the pond saw their best first-quarter winning streak since 2006. And while many experts are waiting to see how the markets deal with Europe's austerity measures -- the April 2012 European Financial Forecast lets the cat out the bag: "European Stocks Have Already Signaled" their next move. Take note, because this is what it feels like to watch history in the making.

Germany's DAX Index Rallies on Barrage of…BAD News?
EWI's European Intraday Stocks Specialty Service shows how the latest market rally was anticipated by the near-term Elliott wave picture
By Nico Isaac
12/9/2011 5:30:00 PM
On December 9, Germany’s DAX enjoyed a huge, triple-digit rally DESPITE a slew of bad news longer than Al Capone's rap sheet: i.e. A cut in German's 2012 growth prospects AND sharp decline in the country's exports in October. The market's surge in the midst of such dismal data makes no fundamental sense. It does, however, make Elliott wave sense.

Every recent stock rally in Europe ignites the hope that the worst of the debt crisis is finally over. Yet every mini-crash that follows mocks those hopes once again... and again... We watched ups and downs like these in 2007-2009, too.

Did you realize that so far this year, France’s CAC 40 stock index has taken back nearly 2 years’ worth of gains in a mere 7 months? Same is true for the pan-European Eurostoxx 50 index. And, as markets dropped in September, less than 10% of futures traders said they were bullish on the DAX, FTSE, CAC 40 and Eurostoxx 50 in August and September. More...

France's CAC 40 plummeted another 4% on Monday, Aug. 8, extending the recent selloff to new lows. Could you have anticipated this market volatility that has seen the CAC 40 fall almost 20% in just one month? Yes -- with the right tools, that is.

Do you remember when the European debt crisis began to make headlines? It seems like it's been with us forever. But as EWI's August European Financial Forecast points out, the crisis began "21 months ago in Greece and Italy," as their respective stock markets topped. That's a hugely important point -- here's why...

In peripheral European stock markets, such as the PIIGS eurozone nations, the rally off the March 2009 low unfolded in near-textbook Elliott waves. But "core Europe" has been another story. In the Eurostoxx 50, DAX, FTSE 100 and CAC 40, rallies from the 2009 low have exceeded typical Elliott wave targets...

"Portugal's government has just collapsed. I've been researching emigration statistics in Ireland and peripheral Europe, and some of the data shows multi-decade extremes. At the same time, the conflict in North Africa is intensifying the anti-immigrant sentiment that has been growing in Europe for years. These two opposing forces are a recipe for..."

When you view world events through the lens of the Elliott Wave Principle, things just make more sense. Take the recent political shake-up in Ireland, where Fianna Fàil party suffered its worst-ever election defeat. Up until now, Fianna Fàil was considered the “natural party of government," but now the experts have no better explanation than to helplessly point to “forces of nature” as the reason for the party's stunning defeat. They would get better answers by looking at the economy and the stock market as the measures of the country's social mood.
