NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ralph Acampora, the well-known chief technical analyst at Prudential Securities, said the Nasdaq should smash the 5,000 mark next year as stocks look forward to another year of double-digit gains.
******************************************************** For 2000, Acampora said: DOW move to 13,500-14,000. S&P moonshot to 1,700 and 1,800. Nasdaq will jump 37 percent to 4,800 to 5,000.
Acampora is a technical analyst, meaning he uses charts of past stock performance rather than fundamentals such as sales or profits, to make his forecasts.
He then did some cheer-leading On the 24/7 TV Touting bonanza at CNBS. MoMo picks for the new-era included DELL, INTC, AA.Com, & other margin driven tech fluff.
