Charts: Dow to 6,000, Opportunity in 2010
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is nowhere near the bottom, despite recent measures by authorities to boost the beleaguered banking sector, Edward Loef from Theodoor Gilissen Bankiers told CNBC.
The Dow Jones Transportation Average chart does not paint a rosy picture for the DJIA, Loef said.
"The DJTA is in a clear long-term downtrend. My next target is the low of 6 years ago which is around 2,000," he added. This would mean a further decline of 20 percent.

] remains below 7,500 the risk for a final sell off is near," he said.

"There is short-term risk, but long-term opportunity for 2010," concluded Loef.
