Robert Prechter

Biography: Robert R. Prechter, Jr., CMT, began his professional career in 1975 as a Technical Market Specialist with the Merrill Lynch Market Analysis Department in New York. He has been publishing The Elliott Wave Theorist, a monthly forecasting publication, since 1979. Currently he is president of Elliott Wave International, which publishes analysis of global stock, bond, currency, metals and energy markets. He is also Executive Director of the Socionomic Institute, a research group. Mr. Prechter has won numerous awards for market timing, including the United States Trading Championship, and in 1989 was awarded the “Guru of the Decade” title by Financial News Network (now CNBC). He has been named “one of the premier timers in stock market history” by Timer Digest, “the champion market forecaster” by Fortune magazine, “the world leader in Elliott Wave interpretation” by The Securities Institute, and “the nation’s foremost proponent of the Elliott Wave method of forecasting” by The New York Times.

Mr. Prechter is author, co-author and/or editor of 13 books, including Elliott Wave Principle – Key to Market Behavior (1978), R.N. Elliott’s Masterworks (1980), The Wave Principle of Human Social Behavior and the New Science of Socionomics (1999), Conquer the Crash (2002), and Pioneering Studies in Socionomics (2003).

Since 1979, when he first addressed the subject, Mr. Prechter has been exploring socionomics, the study and prediction of social trends in light of the Wave Principle and its implications for the social sciences. In 1999 created the Socionomics Institute, of which he is Executive Director. The institute is an independent think-tank whose mission is to develop socionomics as an academic discipline and to promote its commercial application. Recently, Mr. Prechter has made presentations on his socionomic theory to MIT, the London School of Economics and academic conferences.

In 2004, the Socionomics Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was created to provide education and fund scholarly investigation into socionomic theory.

Mr. Prechter graduated from Yale University in 1971 with a degree in psychology. He served as the 21st president of the Market Technicians Association, and is a member of Mensa, Intertel, The Shakespeare Fellowship and the Shakespeare Oxford Society.

Elliott WAve Internaional’s 10-DVD Educational Series $1,199.00
Senior Tutorial Instructor Wayne Gorman presents four online courses to update and enhance EWI’s 10-DVD Educational Video Series, hailed as “the finest Elliott wave material ever produced.” Includes 10-DVD Set plus 1-year access to four on-demand courses and online Q&A forum.
The series has been hailed as “the finest Elliott wave material ever produced,” and it remains the most comprehensive Elliott wave education available on video.

The still highly-popular series has recently been released on convenient DVD format, a valuable new dimension that transforms it into the ultimate Wave Principle reference tool.

Time has not diminished its excellence, yet it’s only fair to say that the series is missing something: Namely, the past decade and a half of unprecedented market activity – and the valuable lessons learned along the way.

Trading the Elliott Waves DVD
In this 2 hours video presentation, Robert Prechter tells you in this DVD, the Wave Principle is not perfect, but at the very least, “it helps you avoid major investment disasters,” and it alerts you to major opportunities – in the financial markets and beyond.

Ultimately, the Wave Principle forecasts people’s behavior, and you may be surprised to see Bob’s examples of successful forecasts for Wall Street’s mergers and acquisitions activities; brokerage firm business; the number of bank loans; public transit ridership numbers – and even wars and peaceful times.

The scope of the Elliott Wave Principle is immense. Its greatest message, though, is that “the trend of human progress is always up,” says Bob. After watching this DVD, you will be hard-pressed to disagree.

Conquer the Crash: You Can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression, Expanded and Updated Edition
In Conquer the Crash, Robert Prechter explains why he thinks the boom times are behind us. Based on his interpretation of the Elliott Wave principle (an idea premised on the notion that mass investor psychology is what really drives markets), Prechter believes that the U.S. economy is about to enter into a deflationary depression that few investors are prepared to deal with. In making his case, Prechter assembles an impressive array of data that in essence suggests that the bill for the last 10 years of market excess is about to come due. The second half of the book shows how to avoid becoming “a zombie-eyed victim of the depression” and offers advice on protecting one’s assets in a deflationary environment (cash is king). If there’s any good news in the future that Prechter sees coming (other than how to avoid it), it’s that all-out depressions don’t last very long. Conquer the Crash should appeal to gloom-and-doom investors and to those desperately looking for a safe haven from the uncertainties of today’s markets
At the Crest of the Tidal Wave: A Forecast for the Great Bear Market REPRINT Edition
This book reads like a thriller. It is a financial detective story with a touch of market romance. Just like Elliott Wave Principle, its super-bullish predecessor from 1978, At the Crest of the Tidal Wave presents a scenario that appears too dramatic and specific to be more than unfounded conjecture. However, the author’s forecasting tool is again the only one that has proved its value in addressing future market probabilities. The result is social science at its best.

If even half of the author’s forecasts come to pass, the world of finance just a few years hence will be immeasurably different from what it is today. Using the same precise approach that he
employed in the early 1980s to forecast a great bull market that would carry the Dow Industrial Average to Near 4000, author Robert Prechter now call for a slow motion economic earthquake
that will register 11 on the financial Richter scale. The Great Asset Mania of recent years is in its final euphoric months, he says, and the next event will be a collapse of historic proportion.

If you are already well versed in the Wave Principle and prepared for the change that is coming, then ignore this book. If you are not, then devour it cover to cover. Be prepared for a shift in the tectonic plates that make up your mind’s notions about financial causality. Above all, get ready for a violent shaking of your faith in conventional economic wisdom.

Elliott Wave Principle: Key to Market Behavior
Elliott Wave Principle came out in November 1978, with the Dow at 790. While this book was immediately regarded by reviewers as the definitive textbook on the Wave Principle, it handily missed the bestseller list by several hundred thousand copies. Nevertheless, due to the spiraling interest in its fascinating content and the continuing success of its long range forecast,
Elliott Wave Principle has sold more copies every year, and has now achieved the status of a Wall Street classic.

In this newly expanded edition, every word involving expectations for the future has been kept intact as it originally appeared In that regard, the book remains precisely in its original 1978 form to allow new readers to investigate both the successes and errors in the forecast presented by Frost and Prechter those many years
ago. In referring to that forecast in a 1989 article, investment analyst James W. Cowan said, “Even allowing for minor stumbles, that 1978 prediction must go down as the most remarkable stock
market prediction of all time.” That decisive reaction came as a result of the market’s path only up to that time. It remains to be seen whether the final stage of the book’s forecast, “three or four years of chaotic conditions in the economy and the markets,” given twelve years ago in Chapter 8, will occur. The authors, to
be sure, stick by their scenario.
