Stock Market Logic - Not Exactly Accurate Information

Just started reading and found the information on the Elliott Wave methodology to be incorrect. I’ve used the methodology and have made A LOT of money with no losses. The book says the Elliott Wave is not useful to market timing. The author thinks people are just imagining seeing the cycle. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. So, I’m going be questioning the remainder of the book. Stay tuned.
