Charles Nenner: "Long-Term Investors Should Wait Until Dow Hits 5,000"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Charles Nenner, who prior to founding the Charles Nenner Research Institute served as a technical analyst for Goldman for about 10 years, has been looking at charts and not seeing much to write home about. In his interview with the TechTicker, Nenner says "I expect the bear market rally to continue for 4 more years, with big upswings like in Japan before coming down again. I don't expect the market to totally fall out of bed. It is going to be very difficult few years to make some money. We will test the lows of 2009 to be tested over the next couple of years. I don't expect the economy to pick up until 2020." How charts can give him macroeconomic perspective with a 10 year bogey, we are not too sure. As to trading, he believes that as long as the S&P does not close below 1,085, the market will continue bouncing, and if 1,085 is taken out "it should be all over." For longer-term investors, Nenner suggests to wait until the Dow goes below its trendline average, with a Dow target of around 5,000. Of course, whether Brian Sack will allow stocks to drop that low is a different matter altogether.

2020 is roughly when the next cohort of consumers, large enough to offset the declining spending habits or retiring baby boomers, begins to hit its peak spending years.

How will they do that, as half their earnings are confiscated by thug politicians, "Entitlements" swallow 90% of the budget, and we still can't come within $1000 billion of breakeven for a single year?

If a fiat currency is very easily diluable, then what does this auther think the true value of 5000 is?   Meaning, how can one put a physical number on something when they do not know what the quantitative easing plans of the federal reserve is??

They will inflate away the value of the currency so that 5000 may never be seen again.  However, DJIA 36,000 will be equivalent to DJIA 1000 measured in gold before it is all over.

Agree, IF we don't have genuine deflation.  Then we could hit 5000, turnaround and hit 36,000 a couple years later with the inevitable hyper-inflation.  It ought to be a hell of a ride one way or the other.

If we can't even close in the red today then it's gonna take one heck of a long time to get down to 5000.

This will not be finished for many many decades.  Last time basically a lost generation, my guess 2 lost generations at least, for the Japanese it will probably be 3 or more lost generations. 

Japan will be back to test 28 year lows.  Hahahaha.  There is no out, well, unless you think going through a meat grinder is an out.

The ultimate capitalist will play the bounces and short the raids until there is no more dead cat bounces and there is nothing more to short, they will go in hibernation while the bottomfeeder lemmings decide who is going to be liquidated.

I would have to agree.  There's a reason why we don't have a tulip exchange anymore.

 

In terms of techincals, there's nothing in the market right now.  Only thing shoving it around are the ETF's which are just debt instruments at the end of the day.  Hate to say it but the PINK sheets have more value to them right now which isn't saying much.

As long as Eur/USD is rising like it has been doing for the last two weeks, whether we close below or above 1085 is irrelevant. Herbs such as this guy tend to miss the big picture due to a an under emphasis on market correlations, produced by quant strategies.

Those long-term investors might not have tooooo long to wait.

But I'd also question the very phrase "long-term" in today's environment.

What is long-term investing anymore? Anyone investing for their retirement? Nope, only funds do that.

It's all short-term circle-jerking spirals downward from here.

Outta bed! Now!

I have to hand it to Scott Brown.  He parades around MA in his truck vowing to strike down the healthcare bill.

Months later, we have healthcare anyhow and Mr. Brown voted yea for a bill called "Dodd/Frank".  Hell, the bill's name speaks for itself.

And here, the people of MA thought their vote would make a difference.  Comedy!

I went back to the cnbc video archives and found that from 12/2007 to 9/2009 he made 2 right calls and 6 wrong calls, almost as good as flipping a coin. He's not a clown, the people who take his advice are. I have high respect for ZH, but between this and mad hedge fund trader, I'm losing some.

I just can't get behind any chartists that don't account for QE/stimulus money and forex.  Static number predictions mean absolutely zero.

This market will probably trade wildly higher once QE v2 is finally announced (or stealth announced).  The Fed and its cronies cannot afford for deflation to take hold long-term.  They would much rather risk hyper-inflation.  They all fail if there is deflation on a long enough scale.

That's right. Nenner is wrong, more than he is right. He has been spectacularly wrong most of the time for the last couple years. But he keeps coming back, like the bad penny he is.

His predictions can definitely be way off timing wise.  That being said, and from an interview last month - he sees gold at $2500 in a couple of years, he likes silver better than gold.  He's very bullish on commodities starting next month for a few years.  He sees deflation for the rest of 2010.  He sees serious inflation in 2011 to 2012.  He sees bonds getting whacked in 2011.  

He quite often hedges his predictions if x, then y, but if z happens than a.  Hard to be "wrong" that way.
