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.

Equity Bottom-Up

The THAAD system installation in South Korea has been one of the biggest negative factors impacting the Korean stock market in the past year. It is fair to claim that if there was no THAAD problem between China and South Korea, the KOSPI could be trading at 10 to 15%+ higher than at current levels. China's THAAD related economic retaliation has come in several stages, and not all at once since the THAAD installation was first announced on July 8th, 2016. On Friday, September 22nd, 2017, the…
