Peter Eliades: "Dow 10,000 by 2015?"

Hmmm, Peter is bearish. Now, that's a surprise! :)
A few quotes:
The only other occasion over the past 68 years that saw the Dow go to a new all-time high intra-day on the same week when the weekly A-D line was below its own 52 week MA was the week ending January 8, 1960. That week marked an exact Dow high. The Dow declined 18% over the next nine months and did not move above the January 1960 high until over 15 months later.
That is the complete history of such coincidences over the past 68 years. Because there were only three or four prior occasions, we cannot consider the results statistically significant. If we follow former results, however, we should either have seen the final highs already or be, at most, six to nine weeks from the final high as measured from the week ending November 27. That would allow for a final high no later than Friday, January 29, 1999.
The next observations deal with our own CI-NCI ratio and the recent readings as some prices moved to new all time highs. On November 23 when the Dow moved to a new all-time high, both intra-day and on a closing basis, the CI-NCI ratio closed at .970. There have been few occasions over the past several decades when the Dow moved to new all time highs accompanied by a CI-NCI Ratio below 1.00. There have been even fewer occasions when the ratio at a new all-time Dow high was below .971 as it was on November 23. Since 1940, here are the only instances when that occurred.
1) January 5, 1960
2) November 10, 13 1972
3) January 11, 1973
4) May 14 through June 4, 1990 (9 different days)
5) November 23, 1998
If the above dates look familiar, they compare almost exactly with the statistics given above for the few times the Dow went to a new all time high accompanied by a weekly A-D line below its own 52 week MA.

disclaimer: frankly, Peter E. has been one heck of a contrarian indicator, but hey, maybe it is different this time. |
