    Description of View from the Top of the Grand Supercycle

    New Classics Library’s first book on the market was Elliott Wave Principle, in 1978. It challenged the prevailing climate of pessimism and said that in fact a great bull market had already begun, in which the Dow would quintuple. The scene was different twenty years later. In the second half of the 1990s, academic economists, who had been mostly skeptical or silent during two decades of advancing stock prices, began vying among themselves to predict ever-higher targets. Dow 15,000, 36,000, 100,000 and even a million (20 years out, we must deferentially concede) were quoted in the press. The public agreed, buying record amounts of stock month after month, a trend that has continued right through to today. In contrast, with every higher projection and every wave of mass buying, the authors in our stable have grown more bearish, eventually to the point of near apoplexy. As two of them said in Chapter 8 of our 1978 book, the Wave Principle works because investors “can always be counted on to be led to believe that two and two can and do make five.” Today Prechter notes, “This time around, they are convinced that two and two make fifty. By the bottom, they will think that two and two make zero. That will be the time to buy.” If you want to experience the workings of a contrary view, Section One of this book is for you.

    Our authors are not always right; they’re just never sheep. Section Two of this book frankly describes a time when being a lone wolf, a voice against the crowd, was unusually counterproductive. The experience did have a silver lining, though, because Prechter’s systematic and introspective review of that time expands our knowledge of market behavior. If you are a student of the Wave Principle, you will find this section especially valuable for the new insights it offers on how the stock market acts during the rarest of events: a Grand Supercycle degree investment mania.
