   We are loosely following the K-Wave cycle pattern with the filtering
Elliott Wave rule of alternation.
Therefore, don't excpect a sharp 1929-1932 stock market crash, but rather a
long grinding slow growth era with periodic boomlets and busts such as
1873 - 1895.  During this period Carnegie made his fortune from having the
right business strategy and not from being any genius in making steel.  This
type of enviroment is great for traders and market times and lousy for long
term buy and hold investors.
The top of the stock market bubble was also the top of the idiot investor
cycle. Now the pendulum is swinging the opposite direction where more and
more knowledge of the market will be required to make money. The absolute
amatuer idiots have mostly already been destroyed. The cycle, over the next
10-20 years, will work its way up the investment food chain to clean house.
It is already becoming evident that 99% of the money managers can't out
perform the S&P 500. When the public catches on to this, these guys will
find their true level of proficiency, selling hot dogs on a street corner.
Read about the bust that followed the "Go Go 60s" and you will see what I
mean. What was it that Will Shakespeare said? "The play's the same, only the
players change"?
