We have already seen that economic performance, earnings and inflation do not necessarily coincide with movements in apparently related financial markets.

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.
