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.

Technical Analysis

While the major averages are stalling below major resistance and their direction is unclear, there are many individual stocks that continue to act well and that are offering fantastic entry points at current levels. Health Care and Technology remain our two favorite global Sectors, and they are outperforming across all major markets including the US, Europe, Japan, and China. Remain overweight/add exposure. Consumer Staples is another leadership Sector, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region. Lastly, we are also continuing to expand our recommendations to include bottom-up ideas within several other Sectors as the market goes through a bottoming process.

The risk of a pullback remains very real, however at this point the weight of the evidence suggests a meaningful pullback is not imminent. We recap important technical levels across market as well as Actionable Themes within the Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Technology sectors.

Cross-Asset & Quantitative Research

A selection of articles and analysis on topics in Artificial Intelligence. In this week's edition of AI readings we look at articles focussing on how AI is shaking up the retail landscape. In particular, we focus on how AI is becoming an important differentiator in the highly competitive world of grocers. Along similar lines, Microsoft is looking to assist retailers in developing cashierless technology to counter AmazonGo's offerings. Ultimately, this initiative is probably aimed at improving Microsoft's position in the cloud computing marketplace. Amazon is replacing white collar workers within its retail division with AI to improve buying and pricing decisions. Also, Intel has serious ambitions in developing quantum computers and has the in house production expertise to become a serious player.
