Robert Prechter on Bear Markets

I enjoy reading Prechter, but you have to admit he was dead wrong throughout the entire 1990s bull run. 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 Prechters Perspective is a fascinating and readable book.

    According to prechter, wave c comes after this countertrend rally and it will be bad. I don’t know his exact targets, just that they are way lower than where we were in early March.

    As Barry notes above, always best to do your own homework rather than just blindly following someone, no matter how accurate these calls were.

    In any event, those were great calls in these videos.
