Dow Jones = 100,000 Target

Recommended Posts

This thread is dedicated to all the bears out there and the forecast is not mine, however, it has been made in the late 1988 when price was where it was, as you can see in the image attached. I scaned the chart from "Masterin Elliott Waves" book, written by Glen Neely, one of the best trading books ever writen.

 

The thing is that the pattern you are seeing there is called a Double Three Running and such a pattern it is ALMOST ALWAYS followed by a third wave extended impulsive move. In order for a wave to be considered extended, it should travel more than 161.8% when compared with the first wave. In this case, the extension tool should start from the absolute low, to the highs at the end of WAVE (I) and to the lows in WAVE (II).

And from that moment on we should look for an extended move.

 

All in all, the chart calls for the 100,000 level to be touched by the year 2060 if we take the time element into consideration.

 

Keep in mind the call was made when Dow was below 8000 points late 1988. No QE's, etc., known at that date, no financial crises and all this crap we are facing now.

 

So.....your opinions please? Crazy? Stupid? Impossible? ....well, as far as I know, impossible is nothing, and in this case, the buy and hold worked just fine.

 

Enjoy.

You'll have to excuse my complete disinterest in where the Dow will be in 2060.

Quite simply..........................................I fully expect to be dead.

However,if you anticipate being alive around this time you might wanna consider ceasing all trading activities immediately and just buy and hold a few blue chips and go and do something else in the meantime.But i'd check with the author (since you rate his book so highly) and find out how he plans to capitalize on this seemingly useless piece of information(?)

Finally,come back and post half a dozen reasons why we're all missing something here.

Frankly you'll be pushed to find 2 I should think.

 

Hi mits...great to see you're live and well...I was missing your sarcasm :)

 

I named the book as the analysis is not mine...I just scanned the chart and is logical to name the author....but I do think is a freat book as it changed my trading style

 

I would be ok with 80k for Dow Jones, so make it 2040 :).....kidding earlier...probably bears are looking for some technical explanation....well, one is this:double three running and the targets above

Some opinions

1 in 2060 there won’t even be a Dow JIA index … there will be indexes but that one will either be back to really ‘industrial’ or replaced by then.

 

2 theoretically ( in economic and social theoreticals) Glenn’s projections are sound … even if it turns out he’s off by thousands of points and years.

 

3 I’ve said several times herein, the dow, to really be in a BULL right now needs to be much higher than it is… in my ‘numbers’, it needed to be at 18000 five years ago… 24000 to 28000 now…

Look at an index chart priced in gold = bear mkt .

But for you, it’s dressed up like a bull. Yes, often the biggest lies really are the easiest lies... fiat. The (realistic ??? ) ‘bulls’ are going long at “subsidized prices and when they adjust, at whatever point in the future, they [may] adjust immediately and on no volume.”

Ie the financial world is operating on false metrics … yen history of ‘lies’, europeen[sp] history of lies, dollar history of lies, etc. so

 

4 the metrics of 2060 will be different, see 2 above.

 

I can relate to why you discuss it, twiz – but most are going to find it specious…

 

All the best,

:offtopic:

btw he mentions gov’t “shutdown” , debt ceilings, etc

some thoughts re that

Was the Debt Ceiling Crisis a Lie? | Gains Pains & Capital

 

It should also be noted – in the form of a multiple choice question

The debt ceiling has now been suspended completely for

a) 90 days

b) Forever

c) None of the above.

 

I know , I know , it’s unfathomable how I can be so dam cynical. :missy:

stocks rise to fresh record high, yet again.

 

100K ....anyone?

 

In addition to my attempts above to comment that such an advance denominated in USD may really not be that much of an accomplishment…

someone should also note that (and ...understandably, you’ll deny inferring such ;)… but) an underlying tone of your posts is that it’s going to go there straightly, directly and that all one needs to do is ‘long bias’.

 

So - some ‘voice of experience’ to all our overleveraged ‘long bias’ buddies out there ---- I did very well overleveraged and ‘long bias’ in the indexes through the 90’s, but there were at least a dozen times I was ‘right’ in the long term but had I stayed long stubbornly, I would have gone bust…

I'm not saying anything......of course it will not go in a straight line for God's sake.......remember 2008 crisis when Dow dipped that much? ....it was a time to buy......not saying here we're going rocketing to the moon, but pointing the direction....

 

everytime I will see on the news indices made a new all time high, I will just bring back this thread with the question.........anyone?

 

I guess only Buffett is thrilled

Back on (an ET thread in TL) topic…

It is my impression that Neely thought ‘growth’ would be a much more significant factor than ‘hyperinflation’ to get us to 100000 dow. Is that your impression?

 

ie …are we @ ‘2007 America’ or @ ‘2006 Zimbabwe’ or @ … ?

he definitely knew about 'qe' and eventual 'QE'... still it's my impression that...

 

... btw, now you're putting words in my mouth :)

it's more about 'relative to('s)'

I know, I know,

 

thing is I am a real fan of technical analysis....I do think (and trade) based on human behaviour and take time into consideration.......not Gann or anything, but, as far as my IQ goes, I seem to keep a steady line and be profitable.......in the end this is all that matters

 

this pattern Neely shows us here, is a pattern I use in my analysis all the time, on lower time frames of course, like 1h, 4h, etc,.......and it is coming through!.....so.......don't want to be the one who is not considering fundamentals, cause I do, it brings volatility to the markets......but Neely did know something about fundamentals to come when charting this? ...no.....

 

if you look back on ANY chart bigger than daily and see the ups and downs price made through the years, can you pinpoint the FUNDAMENTAL reason that was there?....the answer is no

 

so regardless if it is Europe, Lehman Brothers, 9/11, Greece, Italy, etc.....in the end, technical analysis prevails

Since you ask, here is my take on the Dow:

 

We are at the top of the Trading Range, so I´d say a short is legit if the red down wave materialises itself. Initial target is the lower limit of the Trading Range, although price needn't necessarily stop there.

 

If price breaks above the Trading Range, I´d take a long after a retracement.

Really? And what makes you think it's poised to break higher?

 

There was a clear rejection of resistance on wednesday and both yesterday and today buyers don't seem to have it in them to make a higher high.

 

To me, this suggests buyers are reluctant towards bidding above the top of the trading range, at least for the time being.

 

Lets wait and see.

Wait and see never made nor lost a dime.

 

Resistance, perhaps, in certain timeframes. But in the timeframes that matter to longer term traders, its all noise in the direction of geometric growth.

 

Higher is the better bet. Any threat of tapering will only increase the volatility. It will not change the direction.

    • Thx for reminding us... I don't bang that drum often enough anymore Another part for consideration is who that money initially went to...

    • My wife Robin just wanted some groceries.   Simple enough.   She parked the car for fifteen minutes, and returned to find a huge scratch on the side.   Someone keyed her car.   To be clear, this isn’t just any car.   It’s a Cybertruck—Elon Musk's stainless-steel spaceship on wheels. She bought it back in 2021, before Musk became everyone's favorite villain or savior.   Someone saw it parked in a grocery lot and felt compelled to carve their hatred directly into the metal.   That's what happens when you stand out.   Nobody keys a beige minivan.   When you're polarizing, you're impossible to ignore. But the irony is: the more attention something has, the harder it is to find the truth about it.   What’s Elon Musk really thinking? What are his plans? What will happen with DOGE? Is he deserving of all of this adoration and hate? Hard to say.   Ideas work the same way.   Take tariffs, for example.   Tariffs have become the Cybertrucks of economic policy. People either love them or hate them. Even if they don’t understand what they are and how they work. (Most don’t.)   That’s why, in my latest podcast (link below), I wanted to explore the “in-between” truth about tariffs.   And like Cybertrucks, I guess my thoughts on tariffs are polarizing.   Greg Gutfield mentioned me on Fox News. Harvard professors hate me now. (I wonder if they also key Cybertrucks?)   But before I show you what I think about tariffs… I have to mention something.   We’re Headed to Austin, Texas This weekend, my team and I are headed to Austin. By now, you should probably know why.   Yes, SXSW is happening. But my team and I are doing something I think is even better.   We’re putting on a FREE event on “Tech’s Turning Point.”   AI, quantum, biotech, crypto, and more—it’s all on the table.   Just now, we posted a special webpage with the agenda.   Click here to check it out and add it to your calendar.   The Truth About Tariffs People love to panic about tariffs causing inflation.   They wave around the ghost of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff from the Great Depression like it’s Exhibit A proving tariffs equal economic collapse.   But let me pop this myth:   Tariffs don’t cause inflation. And no, I'm not crazy (despite what angry professors from Harvard or Stanford might tweet at me).   Here's the deal.   Inflation isn’t when just a couple of things become pricier. It’s when your entire shopping basket—eggs, shirts, Netflix subscriptions, bananas, everything—starts costing more because your money’s worth less.   Inflation means your dollars aren’t stretching as far as they used to.   Take the 1800s.   For nearly a century, 97% of America’s revenue came from tariffs. Income tax? Didn’t exist. And guess what inflation was? Basically zero. Maybe 1% a year.   The economy was booming, and tariffs funded nearly everything. So, why do people suddenly think tariffs cause inflation today?   Tariffs are taxes on imports, yes, but prices are set by supply and demand—not tariffs.   Let me give you a simple example.   Imagine fancy potato chips from Canada cost $10, and a 20% tariff pushes that to $12. Everyone panics—prices rose! Inflation!   Nope.   If I only have $100 to spend and the price of my favorite chips goes up, I either stop buying chips or I buy, say, fewer newspapers.   If everyone stops buying newspapers because they’re overspending on chips, newspapers lower their prices or go out of business.   Overall spending stays the same, and inflation doesn’t budge.   Three quick scenarios:   We buy pricier chips, but fewer other things: Inflation unchanged. Manufacturers shift to the U.S. to avoid tariffs: Inflation unchanged (and more jobs here). We stop buying fancy chips: Prices drop again. Inflation? Still unchanged. The only thing that actually causes inflation is printing money.   Between 2020 and 2022 alone, 40% of all money ever created in history appeared overnight.   That’s why inflation shot up afterward—not because of tariffs.   Back to tariffs today.   Still No Inflation Unlike the infamous Smoot-Hawley blanket tariff (imagine Oprah handing out tariffs: "You get a tariff, and you get a tariff!"), today's tariffs are strategic.   Trump slapped tariffs on chips from Taiwan because we shouldn’t rely on a single foreign supplier for vital tech components—especially if that supplier might get invaded.   Now Taiwan Semiconductor is investing $100 billion in American manufacturing.   Strategic win, no inflation.   Then there’s Canada and Mexico—our friendly neighbors with weirdly huge tariffs on things like milk and butter (299% tariff on butter—really, Canada?).   Trump’s not blanketing everything with tariffs; he’s pressuring trade partners to lower theirs.   If they do, everybody wins. If they don’t, well, then we have a strategic trade chess game—but still no inflation.   In short, tariffs are about strategy, security, and fairness—not inflation.   Yes, blanket tariffs from the Great Depression era were dumb. Obviously. Today's targeted tariffs? Smart.   Listen to the whole podcast to hear why I think this.   And by the way, if you see a Cybertruck, don’t key it. Robin doesn’t care about your politics; she just likes her weird truck.   Maybe read a good book, relax, and leave cars alone.   (And yes, nobody keys Volkswagens, even though they were basically created by Hitler. Strange world we live in.)

    • No, not if you are comparing apples to apples. What we call “poor” is obviously a pretty high bar but if you’re talking about like a total homeless shambling skexie in like San Fran then, no. The U.S.A. in not particularly kind to you. It is not an abuse so much as it is a sad relatively minor consequence of our optimism and industriousness.   What you consider rich changes with circumstances obviously. If you are genuinely poor in the U.S.A., you experience a quirky hodgepodge of unhelpful and/or abstract extreme lavishnesses while also being alienated from your social support network. It’s about the same as being a refugee. For a fraction of the ‘kindness’ available to you in non bio-available form, you could have simply stayed closer to your people and been MUCH better off.   It’s just a quirk of how we run the place and our values; we are more worried about interfering with people’s liberty and natural inclination to do for themselves than we are about no bums left behind. It is a slightly hurtful position and we know it; we are just scared to death of socialism cancer and we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is.   So, if you’re a bum; you got 5G, the ER will spend like $1,000,000 on you over a hangnail but then kick you out as soon as you’re “stabilized”, the logistics are surpremely efficient, you have total unchecked freedom of speech, real-estate, motels, and jobs are all natural healthy markets in perfect competition, you got compulsory three ‘R’’s, your military owns the sky, sea, space, night, information-space, and has the best hairdos, you can fill out paper and get all the stuff up to and including a Ph.D. Pretty much everything a very generous, eager, flawless go-getter with five minutes to spare would think you might need.   It’s worse. Our whole society is competitive and we do NOT value or make any kumbaya exception. The last kumbaya types we had werr the Shakers and they literally went extinct. Pueblo peoples are still around but they kind of don’t count since they were here before us. So basically, if you’re poor in the U.S.A., you are automatically a loser and a deadbeat too. You will be treated as such by anybody not specifically either paid to deal with you or shysters selling bejesus, Amway, and drugs. Plus, it ain’t safe out there. Not everybody uses muhfreedoms to lift their truck, people be thugging and bums are very vulnerable here. The history of a large mobile workforce means nobody has a village to go home to.
