Dear Investor,
In 1999, 11 European countries surrendered their currencies for the euro and a shared monetary authority. But as the world applauded, Elliott Wave International (EWI) forecast that those countries had also sealed a shared fate: to eventually collapse together in a liquidity-driven deflationary spiral.
EWI’s analysts have been anticipating and tracking the credit contagion across the European nations for the past two years. Back in December 2009, EWI analyst Brian Whitmer warned that a set of troubling events across Europe were signaling that the entire continent was on edge.
In April 2011, Whitmer wrote:
Back in February 2010, we stated, “Greece’s woes aren’t over and neither are its neighbors.” Four months later, as nearly every country in Europe said they would avoid a “Greek-like fate,” the June 2010 issue added, “The only thing separating these countries from Greece is the fragile confidence that they are, indeed, distinct.”
Will the Central Bank coordination bolster confidence enough to turn around the economies of the world? Or is this just another hopeful attempt that will provide nothing more than a short-term fix?
