Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

U.S. Equity Strategy: Waiting on Small-Caps

The technical narrative of the U.S. equity market remains bullish, and it’s not the S&amp;P 500 and Russell 2000’s new highs that are talking the loudest -- it’s the Sector and Group trends. With the exception of Consumer Discretionary, cyclicals continue to outperform.  In addition, bank stocks are recovering from failed breakdowns, aided by a rebound in interest rates and, setting the stage for another leg higher. Asset managers also exhibit strength. In today’s report we highlight actionable ideas in both Groups ... pages 9-20

Campaign promises rarely turn into specific actions, but when they do, they are necessarily impacted by the dynamics of the legislative process. History suggests, however, that the policies of candidates can be a predictor of likely regulatory trends.
