How Elliott Wave Analysis Lassos the Near-Term Commodity Turns
Anyone who's ever traded commodities knows they can turn faster than a cat stumbling on a dog park. You blink for half-a-second and "Poof!"-- the market trend whirls right around and dashes headlong into the opposite direction. Make no mistake, this is volatile territory. One way to help anticipate trend changes before they happen is to reduce the number of unknown variables in the mix. So, how do you do that?When Is The Trend No Longer Your Friend? Elliott Wave Analysis Can Help

The only way to anticipate the moves of these markets before they happen is to reduce the number of unknown variables in the mix. So, how do you do that? Well, if the mainstream equation "bad news = bearish trend," and "good news = bullish trend" were true -- then fundamental analysis would be the perfect trading tool.Silver's 33% Free Fall: Keep the Rug Under Your Feet

May-June is not summer, nor is it spring. It's the unofficial "fifth" season, known to many as "Wedding" season.
