Stock Market Crash – Robert Prechter on Bloomberg – Oct. 19, 2007

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Watch Robert Prechter on Bloomberg TV on the 20th anniversary of the 1987 stock market crash predict what is unfolding before our eyes today. An uncannily accurate forecast from the man that forecast the 1987 stock market crash.

Why would anyone think that the Fed’s actions have any influence whatsoever on the trend in the stock market?

The Fed has similarly cut the discount rate twice in recent months, and on all occasions (Sept. 18, Oct. 31, Jan. 22, Jan. 30) the stock market immediately rallied… only to see prices give back those gains and more, within a few short days or weeks.

Mind you, these are recent and relatively minor instances. There are longer-term examples that unfolded for years, such as the Fed’s historic campaign in 2001-2002 that saw a DOZEN rate cuts, during which time the S&P 500 lost HALF of its value.

More dramatic still was the Bank of Japan’s campaign that took rates to virtually ZERO for entire decade, even as their Nikkei stock index declined and/or languished over the entire period.

There’s nothing new about this information — we’ve spelled it all out before, as recently as Bob Prechter’s Nov. 27 and Jan. 24 appearances on Bloomberg television.

With charts and facts, Bob showed how powerless the Fed really is; he also reminded the audience that “People should be careful of what they wish for when they ask for lower rates.”

Yes, the financial establishment labels Bob Prechter a contrarian. But, what does it say about that establishment’s state of mind when arguments based on facts and evidence make a person “contrary”?

All the charts Bob included in that interview — in fact, everything he said at the time and more — is in the current Elliott Wave Theorist and Elliott Wave Financial Forecast. See it all on your computer screen in minutes, via the fast link below.

Is it possible to invest in foreign markets from India as individual?

Is it possible to invest in foreign markets from India as individual?

Do I have to get license or some thing ?

You might be able to do it with a regular brokerage account if the firm allows it. I would check with e*trade and interactivebrokers first, and there might be others. Also, there is at least one India ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) out there, but I’m not exactly sure what it is anymore (been a long time). You can easily find it online though, I’m sure.

The other thing you can do is to just email an online brokerage and ask them about the ETFs. Most are helpful.

Good luck.

How does Globalization affect the creation of markets?

How does Globalization affect the creation of markets?

Someone please answer this.

With globalization, markets become more accessible. As a producer, you now can get information easier than before about what’s needed on the market in the world. There are already a lot of portals that provide a seller with that information/ opportunity. Protection on the market (tax, customs etc) have largely been removed/ minimized. This can also means that your product become more competitive.

How do I invest in foreign stock markets or companies?

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I’m highly interested in investing money into china and china markets, how do I go about doing this? I do not want to be scammed and I would rather not visit the country just yet.

Some foreign companies have their stocks listed on US stock exchanges. These stocks are classified under "ADR’s" or American Depository Receipts. Or you can buy mutual funds that hold a portfolio of stocks. Also some brokers allow you the flexibility of buying foreign stocks which are specified with a ticker symbol. Figure out what you want to invest in, then go from there.
