Elliott Wave: Can You Use the Wave Principle to Trade Individual Stocks?

With the Dow rallying since February 8, 2010, more people have been willing to dip their toes back in the equities markets. We often get the question: "Do wave patterns work with individual stocks the same as they do in aggregated stock indexes?" The answer is "Yes, but less frequently and less clearly." After all, the Wave Principle is based on herding, so the larger the herd that trades, the easier it is to see the patterns. That means that the market averages, like the Dow, the Nasdaq and the S& P 500, have the clearest wave patterns. Remember, we see the recent market move as a bear-market rally, so you may want to think about doing something other than buying and holding. In this excerpt from Prechter's Perspective, Bob Prechter explains when it's worth acting on the wave pattern in an individual stock.
