Evidently, those who claim to understand e-waving must "see" things differently than I do. [I never liked the idea of being a masochist either -g].

When one of those threads started, i made a serious attempt to understand their language. By the time [I thought] I had understood one of their projections, complicated as it was, then the market would do the opposite. Ah but they always had, alternate scenario # 1, # 2 or # 3....

Soon, I was getting confused with the different waves, or scenarios.

At times I did not know if i was on wave c (of a) --[of scenario 1]-- or it was scenario # 3-c, which was part of wave A (of 3). Of course by then, the market would turn around and start doing something completely different to their already changed initial "scenario" and of course there was always scenario # 600 to accommodate to the market's silliness of doing totally opposite of their latest "wave-prediction".

So...I decided to step back and look at the ocean, thinking in terms of surfing and imagined a surfer trying to guess the next wave...

The picture I got in my mind was of many surfers, --their heads bobbing up and down in the little "waves"-- attempting to catch the perfect wave. Repeatedly, I kept seeing all these guys being "wiped out" off some gigantic mountain of water... over and over... At which point, I understood that my learning experience of e-waving the markets had ended.

I never waited for the shark to show up in my mental image, it would have added insult to injury to the poor surfers -g

* too bad, once the investment is committed, you can't call the broker and say....

"Well, I meant to go short instead of long, you see, it is part of alternative # 345, which indicates that ... blah blah, blah....."
