Mike:

     Elliott Wave is merely a reflection of how people react to any 
crowd-following phenomenon:  Whether it be greed (Bull impulse waves, ie. 
Elliott 1-3-5 Waves) or fear/profit taking ( the Corrective Waves, ie. 
Elliott 2-4 Waves, and also the A-B-C waves).  

     The total reflection of investment and speculation psych is agglomerated 
in one full cycle of the wave, ie. Elliot 1-5 + A,B,C Waves.

     For what I consider an excellent book (without all the filler, 
inessential detail, and qualifications that Prechter and Frost go into) on 
Elliott Wave as regards the stock market, I recommend the 150 page paperback, 
Elliott Wave Simplified by Clif Droke, the editor of several weekly stock 
newsletters, and the author of Technical Analysis Simplified.

 Einstein had about the uncertainty principal - without a rational
 explanation for why it works (if it does reliably), its hard to believe in
 it.
 
 I can understand fibonacci numbers recurring frequently in nature because
 they could be somehow encoded in DNA, but I have a hard time seeing how they
 could apply to the stock market. But then again, I haven't put any time into
 trying to understand the causal connection and my comments are based largely
 on ignorance. If any member of the group can explain a possible causal
 relationship, I would find that helpful.
 
 Also, why is this off topic? Understanding M is fundamental to CANSLIM
 because 75% of stocks go with the flow. >>
