NASDAQ 2,243 in 2003 – NASDAQ 5,078 in 2016

By Christian DeHaemer and Ian L. Cooper

One of the most profitable Taipan plays over the last two weeks has been our Nortel (NT:NYSE) recommendation. If you bought in at 78 cents, continue holding. We’re now up more than 49% as it passes US$1.16. Not bad at all considering the market mayhem we’re seeing on a daily basis.

Do keep in mind that Nortel is a long-term play. You know as well as we that the telecom industry has seen better days, and that the best time to buy in is when they’ve hit rock bottom. We did that with NT. The good news these days, following massive cost cutting, is that they are targeting a return to profitability by the time 2003 rolls around. We’ll have to wait and see at this point. If you’re counting on any telecom returning to where it was in 1999 and 2000, though, don’t hold you breath too long.

Elsewhere, according to DeHaemer, it’s not that the bears are right, nor that the bulls are right – they’re both wrong. We are in a secular bear market that could last 16 to 20 years. This corresponds to the time it takes for a new generation of fools to believe that “this time it is different.” This has been proven by the last four major bear markets, including the one now going on in Japan.

Bear markets lasting 16 to 20 years have been standard fare going back 150 years. Based on this, here’s our prediction: it will take from March of 2000 to November of 2016 for the NASDAQ to hit 5,078 again.

Here’s why: from 1905 to 1921, buy-and-hold investors lost money. From 1929 to 1950, they lost money. From 1966 to 1982, they lost money again. It takes a full generation before there are people willing to chase new stocks. If you are a buy-and-hold investor, you will go broke.

But before you convert your strategic portfolio holdings into Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, consider this. There will be at least six massive rallies within the parameters of that bear market. The first one will be by far the largest.

The NASDAQ is currently trading at 1,325. In one year, I think the NASDAQ could be at 2,243! That, too, has historical precedent: between 1932 and 1937, the Dow climbed more than 300%!

This is how the Red Zone VIP team will play it.

  1. We will know the trend through the Tri-Directional Indicator.
  2. We will know the turning points by playing the Volatility Index (VIX).

The volatility index measures the put/call ratio. Whenever the VIX spikes and plummets like a shark’s tooth, there is going to be a turnaround in the market. I can superimpose this chart on the NASDAQ to provide a clear image. The bigger and more dramatic the spike, the bigger and more dramatic the turnaround.

Therefore, we know when to change from short to long – like we did recently to catch this latest rally. Using the TDI, we also know when to stay long so we don’t get faked out of further gains. With pretty darn good results: since September, we’ve recommended plays that have made 176%, 66%, 9%, 45%, 42%, 27%, 100%, 76% and 127%.
