I strongly believe that Elliot Wave is the best way to make profitable trades in the market. Fundamentals are important too but not that much regarding to get a good low risk entry point level.
I'm starting to think that too. Too much people waiting for confirmation in the inverse shoulders pattern. Could be a double top within a flat correction. Usually wave C won't dip too much where prior wave A was.
Regarding to your bonus... don't worry too much: I'm sure there will be good opportunities to invest that money!
I tell people often who are just getting into investing and asking for help, that there will always be more places to invest your money than you have the money to invest in. They get worried that they won't get a good price on XYZ company or miss so trend. Everything works in cycles. Some market segment is always valued cheaply with respect to the others.
I believe the good opportunities will be plentiful when it comes:)
