In the following article by Elliott Wave International we will take a long term look at the U.S. Stock market. Note the chart does it look like a giant head and shoulders top to you?
U.S. Stocks: Where We’re Going
After years of campaigning and billions of dollars spent, the U.S. Congress is virtually no different than before Election Day: a Republican-controlled House, a Democratic majority in the Senate and the same occupant in the White House.
The same can be said for the S&P 500 — and then some.
Investors who’ve been in an S&P index fund over the past 13 years would have been better off in a money market account! From July 1999 through August 2012, the S&P 500 was back to where it started.
We think this is the longest topping process in the history of the United States
— Steve Hochberg, EWI Chief Market Analyst
Yet, the long ride to nowhere is likely headed somewhere very soon — but not where most investors think. Moreover, the market’s trend may unfold much faster than many observers suspect.
According to recent sentiment indicators, the long ride to nowhere has lulled many investors into a sense of complacency.
But we see abundant evidence that should create a sense of urgency in the mind of investors.
That’s why the editors of EWI’s Financial Forecast Service are hosting a limited-time, free event for U.S. investors.
They want you to see what they see in U.S. financial markets.
You will learn why the stock market top has occurred over a period of time, and why the resolution may be swift.
EWI’s editors guide you through the charts, including a real eye-opener that shows the triple top in the Great Asset Mania. As you see the scope of this chart, Hochberg provides his insightful commentary.
Hochberg also describes what he means by “inter-market non-confirmation” and observes, “We’ve had broad swaths of the market peel away from the rally that started in March 2009.”
