Former Goldmanite Charles Nenner: A "Major War" Is Coming At The End Of 2012

By Courtney Comstock
Former Goldmanite and big-picture market forecaster had a grave prediction for FOX Business yesterday.
He started off the interview by saying that he's telling his big clients to get out of the market because the DOW will drop to 5000.
"We went log in 2009 in the first quarter [when] we had a price target of 1356 on the S&P 500 , and we're getting close," he said. "So I told my big clients, hedge funds, pension funds, and big firms to go almost totally out of the market."
"It doesn't mean that we go down immediately, it can take a couple of months. And if we would close in on 1356, which we're pretty close, we're 1% away."
And if we close before 1357, we're in trouble.
But don't get too scared, he says, "the market looks reasonably stable at the moment. So what I think we're at in the beginning of 2011, most of the gains have been taken."
Then he commented on Carl Icahn, answering the question, did he get out too soon? (The huge hedge fund manager recently announced that he's retiring.)
Nenner said that yes, he got out too soon.
"I was on another network and they said that he doesn't understand macroeconomics, and I say, give me a call." (Nenner is the founder of the Charles Nenner Research Center.)
And then he dropped a bomb.
The question was, What would trigger the DOW dropping to 500?
Nenner said, "Well, I don't want to depress you, but I should tell you that I also do war and peace cycles and it shows that were going to have a major war at the end of 2012, beginning of 2013. And I think that's going to do it."
Watch below for the reaction from the FOX Business reporters to Nenner's war prediction ("Wow," and completely ignoring the question to move on to the next question) and his reference to their competition (But we're the only network, don't you know?"
When you peek below the surface, it becomes clear that Syria is under attack due to the interests of the parties involved. ‘Syria’ is about power, money, influence and energy.
In the event of major military conflicts that risk considerable humanitarian and economic consequences, it is useful to examine the interests of all parties involved as well as the role that the media plays in reporting the events.
On the surface it’s straightforward: the U.S. wants to liberate Syria from a brutal dictator who is attacking his own people with poison gas. But beneath the surface there is something very different going on.
