Jack Frost learned directly from Hamilton Bolton who
learned directly from Elliot. The book is the rules of Elliot that
Ralpl Nelson Elliot laid out. Many though, have changed somewhat over
time. One example is the the C wave count and they most certainly can
be and are often 3's. So the words "end of story" really don't hold much
weight against my hands on experience. Another example would be the contention
that "running a-b-c's" are very rare as Frost contends. In fact during the
impuulse waves of the 90's running a-b-c second waves were very
common.
As far as Glenn Neely he is generally considered an
excellent analyst and its a view I share. His Neo-Wave though is not
exactly Elliot Wave, and certainly immensely more difficult.
While Elliot is certainly an art, one must not be
constrained by what is written in a book somewhere and try to fit the book to
real time trading. One's own observations and the ability to believe what you
see are crucial. So is the imagination requires to follow the princilple without
being bogged down by absolutes which can be counter productive.

Frost's work
may be the bible, but its certainly not something you would use to make market
analysis off. That's like leaving school after 6th grade and expecting
to be a university professor. Clearly ridiculous. There is only one work
I regard as the bible, and that speaking from almost 15 years of real time
use. I'm speaking of Neely's book "Mastering Elliott Wave Theory".
I warn readers though it is only for the very serious Elliott student, and
actually not something I would recommend generally.
As for C's
being zig-zags, that's only true if the C wave was part of a "B' or "X' wave
triangle, or part of a Terminating Triangle. There are NO 3 wave C's in
a non-terminating impulse pattern...end of story. To suggest zig-zag C
waves are common is absurd. How would anyone gain any benefit from EWT
is they never knew whether the C wave was going to be a 3 or 5 wave
affair???? Clearly the theory would be useless. Thankfully,
readers, you can be rest assured Frost and Elliott were generally right.
ALL (except for those highlighted above) 'C' waves in 'abc' are 5 wave
affairs.

When Jack Frost wrote analysis part what is now kind of the bible of
Elliot (Prechter wrote the postcsript part), he wrote as Elliot did that all
c's are 5's. Having kept hourly dow charts by hand for about 8 years (a
while ago) I can say in my experience all C's are not 5's, and a zig-zag C
is common.

Lee,
Wave C if and when it unfolds after a wave
c:B advance should not be a zig-zag but a five wave decline
FWIW.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>I think you are right on with both the short and long. The only
difference I have is that on the long range forecast I favor the
possibility of the move from sept to jan as wave A (of B), since jan as
wave B (which is close to ending) and the next major rally wave C of B
then the final down move to at or below sept would be wave C of a zig
zag. Practically it does not change how I would trade regardless of if
you are right and this is a baby bull or the second option that this is
a bear mkt rally. Either way the at a min the upcoming rally should be
very powerful. The only issue I have is with the VIX and P/C ratio, at
the current levels I do not think that we have the fuel for this kind of
rally so I would like to see the final move to your target of 1030 be
fast and furious to scare some people.

appears that the high turning point in the SPX that some of you were
anticipating has been made. On 5-17 we closed at 1106.59 and then
again touched that level on an intra-day basis the next day. I believe
there is a reasonable possibility that the market could move back up
near the turn high over the next couple of days before resuming the
move down. I believe there is an even smaller chance that the market
may even slightly exceed the high and actually make the turn as late
as 5-28.

am anticipating the next low turn to occur within four days of 6-4. My
target price range is 1027 to 1034. 1.382 times the move from 5-7 to

and we arrive at the low target of 1027.08. A 61.8% retracement of the
move from 9-21 to 1-9 yields a target price of 1033.46. If this
projected down move does terminate in the projected target range, it
has the potential to be the end point of the correction for the entire

attached and or pictured chart (I will attempt to do both) I have
drawn a trend line from the bottom of the first move down from the
March 2000 high connecting lows made in March of 2001 and September of
2001. I have also drawn a trend line from the top of the first upward
reaction to the initial down move from the March 2000 high and
connected it to the high made in May of
2001.

see these trend lines clearly define the trading channel of the bear
market. Looking at this chart the first indication we have that the
bear market is over, is the penetration of the top trend line and the
fact that the market has traded outside the bear market channel for
most of this year.

<SPAN
