What do you think of the following elliott wave analysis by David Plonk:

<P>"'66-'82 was a wave 4 supercycle correction

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8/82-8/87- Cycle Wave 1 of Supercycle 5
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8/87-5/88- Cycle Wave 2
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5/88-10/89- Primary Wave 1 of Cycle Wave 3
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10/89-10/90-Primary Wave 2
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10/90-1/92- Primary Wave 3
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/92-10/92-Primary wave 4
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10/92-1/94-Primary wave 5 [END OF CYCLE Wave
3]
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/94-12/94-Cycle Wave 4
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 12/94-5/96-Primary wave 1 of Cycle 5
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5/96-7/96- Primary wave 2
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7/96-1/97- Intmdt. 1 of Primary wave 3
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/97-4/97- Intmdt. 2
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4/97-8/97- Intmdt. 3
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8/97-11/97-Intmdt. 4
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11/97-7/20/98-Intmdt. 5 [END OF Primary 3]
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7/20/98-present- Primary 4

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So when this primary 4 corrective ends, we'll
have the grand finale up in a primary 5
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; starburst that will complete the 5th Cycle
wave. Primary 1 of Cycle 5 was roughly 270
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SPX points, so we could see something similar
in the primary 5 rally (although it
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; wouldn't be much larger than the month long
rally we've just experienced, now would it?
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;g> This read solves the problems you had
spotted in the prior long term count i
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; submitted to the thread, that being I had
the period from 7/96 to 1/97 labeled as
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Primary 3 of Cycle 5, which would mean it
was shorter than both 1 &amp; 5, a real no-no.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless you or someone else can find a flaw
which has slipped by me, I will assume it is
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; correct, and thus expect this Primary Wave
4 Correction we're in to complete before
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the end of December. I now have "A" of this
primary 4 correction running from
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7/20-9/10, and "B" running from 9/10-present,
with a of B from 9/10-9/28, b of B from
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9/28-10/9, and c of B from 10/9-present. Within
this c of B, I have us in wave 4 of 5.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; wave 4 of 5 should complete tomorrow (with
more downward action, then we have a 5
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; of 5 rally into the latter part of the week
that could take us to the 1145-1155 area SPX
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (9000-9100 Dow).

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After the completion of this rally, which will
complete wave B of Primary 4, we will
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; begin wave C of Primary 4, which can inflict
alot of damage or not, depending on the
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fed, earnings warnings, worldwide equity markets,
etc. A move back down to the
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; October lows would seem well within reach.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This selloff should be followed by Primary
5 of Cycle Wave 5, a several month and very
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; steep rally that could take the market back
to the all time highs by the end of the first
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; quarter next year. It should measure 2000+
Dow points if it equals its primary 1
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; counterpart. But a 5th wave failure/truncation
should be watched for considering the
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; state of our world. Once this 5th wave rally
completes, then we're ready for the '29
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; style crash, and then some!!"

&nbsp;I've been a bear since 1996. I have been wrong. Anyone that thinks
this is just a trap to lure in the unwary bulls doesn't understand the
massive liquidity flows that laugh at out 1970s and 1980s "used to work"
techniques.

Find attached an simple ELWAVE analysis chart as an example,
that I received today.
I find it very effective to see the market from lots of different angles as
the one can then confirm the other.

In general remember that not all trades or investments will return straight away
or that they all will be the winning trades. You win some you loose some.
Thats also generaly speaking.
