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........
