IF PAST IS PROLOGUE….

    Bottom line: Our favourite overlays suggest for the DJIA.

        * The peak may be posted as early as the opening days of January 2011 (possibly even 3rd January as per the other 3 examples) with a down month in the region of 5%.

        * We will see an intra year bear market next year (fall of over 20%).

        * We will close the year down double digit percentages (Plus/minus 16% down).

        * We could be waiting a further 6 to 8 years to eventually see the DJIA regain the 2007 highs on a yearly close basis.

    What will the catalyst be???

    Our bias is likely 1 of 2 things.

        * The bond market falling sharply as it did in 1977 sending yields higher and fuelling inflation or supply fears or both.
        * Europe imploding. While this could stress our view on the dollar fixed income and commodities, this dynamic still supports our bearish equity view.

Wow...very surprised this is coming from Citi. They just regained one ounce of respect from me--not simply because I agree with them, but instead because posting a report like this took some balls, particularly with bullish sentiment as high as it is today...

I'm not sure I believe it'll take 12 years to reach the pre-crash peak again, but I do believe that the first week of January has some major potential for a pullback.  I also agree that 2011 will probably be a year for the bears.

Interesting binve. Although I would never trade on this. As with most things in the stock market - past performance almost never guarantees future returns.

MoneyWorksforMe ,

Totally agreed. A lot of bullishness right now (see http://marketthoughtsandanalysis.blogspot.com/2010/12/bullishness-wow.html, so it is welcome to see a bit of contrarian analysis from a historically bullish company

mtf00l ,

outoffocus,

I suspect the latter.

totallyoblivious,
