Interesting point regarding elliott theorists. However there are different
schools of thought on elliott wave. The one that you reffer to is the
mainstream group who are by far the majority of people, prehaps even 95%.
The other 5% are those who are not really taken notice of, however they are
the ones who have been consistently proven correct. I guess its like saying
all cars are alike but really there is a Rolls-Royce & then theres also a
Go-Go Mobile. . I belong to the former. Not all elliotticians think alike,
the two groups a very seperate...very.!!!!!!!!!
regards Peter ( sorry steve)
