McHugh and Prechter are superb fundamentalists that in my
opinion try and fit their vision to the charts and EW theory.
Prechter is a paradox though, in that he is supposed to be the
authority in Elliot Wave yet he has managed to be so wrong in
his timing most of the time for a long time, especially in gold.
BPT has interpreted EW much better than EWI itself.
And timing is everything if you are a trader.
Maybe their "financial Armageddon" calls will soon come to pass
but I wouldn't bet the farm (wish I had one) on it.
In fairness Prechter was right in early 2003 when he called for
quite a high S&P target for the recovery. He and his
partners have been too bearish on gold though, most of the time
since the 2000 low - they don't 'get' that gold is money. Just FYI,
the monthly EW reports from Hochberg make really good reading. You
just have to be careful about their daily work, which is just too
bearish all the time.
Maybe this should be a sticky post. Every dog has its 15 seconds
of stardom
in the cold light of day though, it remains a dog
i am referring to the theory and not the individuals. look at it
this way. EW is their life yet even they cant make it work. its
beyond common sense that the retail trader would think for one
minute these guys who study ew day in day out
my simple advice.....ew is nothing short of Extreme Waffle
