I just went to the Elliot Wave international site and it looks like they have over 100k subscribers. At $40 per month + if you buy extra's and the ad's on there that's a decent amount of revenue each year. Perhaps his background in psychology did make him a marketing genius karen,

My bad folks, I did not mean to impart false information on Costco's payment practices. I always thought they didnt take credit cards, but here is the real deal from their website FAQ: What types of payment does Costco accept? You may pay by cash, Amex card or Costco Orico co-branded card. We do not accept other credit cards because their fees would increase the costs to us and our members. I-Man is cash money anyways. :) Clarification… My bad folks, I did not mean to impart false information on Costco’s payment practices.

I see what you are saying though. Have fun trading today. Should be interesting watching the bonds again today. you are right about late 07 though, it seems especially easy to say it now, but if you were paying attention it was easy to see the, uh,... problems. yeah, I’m just getting into it now (wave).

Only two of the videos are from 07. Anyway, you know I respect your opinion. I think we've beat this into the ground enough. the main problem with wave is that if you are on the wrong count, you will just be wrong. karen,

No doubt. I find his comments on Socionomics most interesting.

I would have hated to miss the 90′s.

Indeed, his call for crash in 2008 is the same call he has been making for decades. I can say that, and also point out that <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0932750613/thebigpictu09-20" rel="nofollow">Prechters Perspective</a> is a fascinating and readable book.
