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.

Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund / Technical Analysis

Energy stocks may be nearing a climax top while gold and gold stocks are showing bullish signals after several months of dismal performance. Traders should avoid energy exposure and buy gold and gold stocks for better potential performance.However, make no mistake, any gold rally should be treated as a tactical bull rather than a secular bull. The gold-to-CRB and cyclically sensitive copper-to-gold ratios are signaling a reflationary regime. Long-term investors should therefore seek exposure to cyclically sensitive base metal and other commodities over the shiny yellow metal for better returns.
