Reality check: Few investors realize that in just 2 weeks in August, the stock market erased all the gains of 2010 and 2011.
But after those 2 rough weeks in August, stocks rallied for more than 6 weeks -- a rally three times longer than the decline. Does it mean that stocks are out of the woods?

The belief that the economy drives the stock market is common knowledge; it’s Investing 101; the idea gets pounded into investors’ heads, over and over again, by various pundits, daily.

Just because many politicians and financial pundits want us to believe that the U.S. economy is recovering doesn't mean we have to believe them. Nor does it make us negative Neds and Nellies if we don't.

On Wednesday, June 22, the Federal Reserve Bank released its latest interest rates policy statement (no change). Afterward the Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke held a press conference, followed by a Q&A period. The financial media paid lots of attention to what Bernanke said. Our own Steve Hochberg -- editor of the Monday-Wednesday-Friday Short Term Update -- had this to say about Bernanke's press conference...

Take any widely-followed economic indicator -- Inflation-adjusted Net Worth, for instance. I can say that this indicator is down 20% from its most recent peak... and that sounds bad... or does it? I can say that it has moved up slightly over the past three quarters... and that sounds good... or does it?

The bad news is out for all to contemplate -- the 2000s were the worst decade ever for U.S. stocks. But subscribers to Elliott Wave International's forecasting services already knew that. So, the next question is, what has been the best investment during recessions?

In the U.S., consumer spending represents about 70% of GDP. After decades of an inflationary “crack-up” boom, people are stuffed to the gills with consumer debt. But it appears that its long build-up has turned down, which is a message businesses should heed.

People continue to desert the bearish camp -- even some who correctly forecasted the 2008 collapse. The less than resolute bears are now taking up residence with a cadre of “professionals” whose track record is poor -- fundamental analysts. Fundamental analysts have a poor track record of predicting downturns (though it’s probably not a surprise to those reading this). Here are two good examples...
