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.

<h2>Summary</h2>Geopolitical tension has sharply escalated in the wake of yet another North Korean missile launch aimed in Japan’s general direction. For many investors already worried about overstretched valuations in global risk assets this could have been the perfect trigger for a sell-off. Yet, financial markets have been remarkably resilient. Is this just further evidence of a complacent bubble-mentality amongst global investors or something else? We also consider potential downside hedges in case…

We went long the VIX at 8.90 and last week called for the bull flag to break higher resulting in the spike to the 16-17 area.
