The benefit of hindsight allows us to say that Prechter's then-radical forecast of a "once-in-a-generation money making opportunity" did happen. It actually surpassed what Prechter anticipated. Yet that was a two-part forecast, so this question remains...

Most people's thinking simply defaults to physics when analyzing financial events. But when we take the time to examine the results of applying that model, we find that it is not useful either for predicting or explaining market behavior.

In the world of physics, action is followed by reaction. Most financial analysts, economists, historians, sociologists and futurists believe that society works the same way. They typically say, “Because so-and-so has happened, such-and-such will follow.”

People default to physics when predicting social trends. The Law of Conservation of Momentum makes possible our modern technological world. People rely on it every day. Despite its use in so many areas, however, it is inapplicable to predicting social change.

Happy 160th Birthday to Charles Dow. Without him, there would be no Dow Theory. And without Dow Theory, Ralph N. Elliott might not have been open to the idea that the financial markets are patterned. His research proved that markets are patterned, which became the basis of Elliott wave analysis.

“Critical thinking” -- a.k.a. thinking for yourself -- is the pinnacle of a good education.
But even though you realize it's important to think for yourself, as time goes by you find yourself going with the majority. Not rocking the boat is a safer bet. You come to believe you just might live longer.
