I am not sure of Jack Frosts Elliot count now (actually 
not sure he is still alive). Jack Frost wrote the instructional part of the 
book. (ie most of it). In 1987 when Prechter turned bearish, calling for 40 
on the Dow, I can tell you for sure Jack Frost did not agree with 
him. Frost had labelled that decline as a wave 4, and was looking for new 
highs at the time.

  Actually, I received a copy of "Elliott Wave Principle" friday 
  nite from Elliott Wave International.....it's a complimentary gift for 
  subscribing to their service. Soon as you open the cover , on the inside 
  sleeve, there's a few paragraphs about Prechter. "The Hulbert rating service 
  reports that The Theorist exceeded the performance of the Wilshire 5000 
  over the 13 1/2 yr period ending Dec. '93, while being exposed to market risk 
  only 50% of the time. " It goes on to list other accolades and awards like 
  for example : "In 1984, Mr Prechter set an all time record in the United 
  States Trading Championship by returning 444% in a monitored real money 
  options account in the four month contest period. " "In Dec. '89 , 
  Financial News Network named him "Guru of the Decade". Then theres a 
  Publishers note that gives some back ground on the book. Elliott Wave 
  Principle came out in Nov '78. "It's hard to believe it's been 20 yrs since we 
  introduced the world to Frost and Prechter's vision of a great bull market in 
  stocks. While it's extent has been much more than they originally expected , 
  the authors maintain their labeling of the advance as Cycle wave V. " 
       Perhaps I can find out from any archived copies 
  of the Theorist just exactly what Prechter was predicting in 98 - 2000.  
  Because it does look like they were expecting the bull market to end in 98. 
  While the market did have a rough yr, it also saw the beginning of another leg 
  up in Oct. 98.

    Jack, did you already ask this (not-dumb) question to "The Elliott  
    Wave Theorist" ? I'm interested in Prechter's own answer........
