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

In our March Strategy we provide a top down analysis of U.S. equity market drivers, and highlight opportunities within the following Sectors:• Technology: Overweight.  Technology remains a leadership Sector as uptrends and significant bases remain intact. The recent pullback has resulted in a number of groups breaking to new highs especially in the Software related groups. Historically investors will move to software related names to reduce risk as these companies often have a source of reoccurring revenue. Large- and Mid-cap semiconductors have also been quite resilient, whereas small- and micro-cap semis are seeing breakdowns in price and RS.• Financials: Overweight. Financials continue to plod up and to the right. Banks and thrifts, exchanges, investing banking and brokerage, pawn shops and Latin/South American banks look attractive.
