Elliott Wave Principle: Key to Market Behavior by Frost and Prechter
This is the definitive guide to the fundamentals of Elliott Wave
analysis. The premise is that there is vital information to be gleaned
from the price action of stocks -- the data derived from the series of

-- stocks back and fill as they move in trends. The authors identify
waves and cycles with historical and mathematical examples and
illustrations, and show how these proliferate in nature. Waves move in a
natural progressions defined by the Fibonacci sequence, and Fibonacci
ratios can forecast the distance (percent change) and timing of stock
price movements. |

or she enters the cycle just before the stock moves to stage 2. He

and how to time your entry. Don't let the publication date influence
you. Start reading, and you will think he published it this year |
