"JP Morgan, he said, already had contingency plans in place for US interest rates – which are now in a range of 5.25% to 5.5% – to rise higher than 8%, or fall as low as 2%.".........so he's covered himself with a 6% spread lol.......powerful man in the world of finance but they do feel they have to say something.....ps he also mentions world conflicts like ukraine & the middle east are bad for the markets...no s hit......gla

"The Elliott wave principle, as popularly practiced, is not a legitimate theory, but a story, and a compelling one that is eloquently told by Robert Prechter. The account is especially persuasive because EWP has the seemingly remarkable ability to fit any segment of market history down to its most minute fluctuations. I contend this is made possible by the method's loosely defined rules and the ability to postulate a large number of nested waves of varying magnitude. This gives the Elliott analyst the same freedom and flexibility that allowed pre-Copernican astronomers to explain all observed planet movements even though their underlying theory of an Earth-centered universe was wrong.

Some analysts consider the Elliott wave principle as too dated to be applicable in today's markets, as explained by financial market analyst Glenn Neely, author of Mastering Elliott Wave:[10]

Elliott wave was an incredible discovery for its time. But, as technologies, governments, economies, and social systems have changed, the behavior of people has also. These changes have affected the wave patterns R.N. Elliott discovered. Consequently, strict application of orthodox Elliott wave concepts to current day markets skews forecasting accuracy. Markets have evolved, but Elliott has not. "..........

On that note...im going for a drink........gla.

...a lot of posters are on here through the ups and downs...however there seems to be a band of doomsters that only appear when the SP falls...plenty of rollercoaster days ahead so i'm sure we will see them again......keep buying those dips ...gla.

....plenty of interest in the US employment data tomorrow....will be watching with interest....gla.
