Investing in the market, Warren Buffett has a 25 year record of 25% rates of return for Berkshire Hathaway investors. He has helped to make many stock market investors independent millionaires, with minimal trading costs. He does NOT use Elliot wave theory, Gann theory, fibonacci numbers, or any other market "timing" tool. Why??? Because they don't work!! The top 'timers' over the last 20 years don't even come close to his 25% rate of return, especially when you subtract all of the transaction costs of market 'timers'. There is NO 'holy grail' when it comes to investing, but there IS a lot of HYPE! to try and convince you otherwise. All of these Elliot wave gurus and assorted other market timers are making money selling their 'theories' not by using them. Elliot Wave International with Steve Hochberg has the third WORST record of over 200 tracked over the last 15 years with a cumulative return of NEGATIVE -6.2%. And that's before the $228.00 per year subscription fee and transaction costs. Yikes!!! They also have a negative return over 5 AND 10 year periods. And these guys are considered the leading authority on Elliot wave analysis. They are expert 'Hypoholics' not expert timers. If there were a 'hypoholics' hall of fame, they would certainly be in it. Market timing just doesn't work. But obviously HYPING it does. Don't be fooled. Be wise. Be prosperous.
