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

The last several months have been that of digestion and consolidation. While Sector and group leadership have taken a back seat to stock selection, rotations still seem to be the norm.  We have suggested that the current sector rotations are reminiscent of 1994. If conditions in the current market are indeed mimicking those of 1994, we would expect that sectors that are oversold are likely to bounce, and sectors that are overbought are likely to suffer pullbacks, which makes technical tools such as relative strength less viable.In our July Strategy we outline this thesis and highlight opportunities within the Technology, Health Care, Financial and Energy Sectors.

The recent successful test of support at the 200-day moving average has paved the way for a meaningful bounce higher on the S&amp;P 500. Given this bounce, we have become incrementally more bullish. In today’s report we highlight the bullish implications of the recent move higher for the broad market as well as attractive and actionable groups within the Energy Sector: EN-02 Oil &amp; Gas, Global, Large-Cap, EN-08 Oil and Gas E&amp;P, Domestic, Large-Cap, and EN-10 Oil and Gas E&amp;P, Domestic Small-Cap.

U.S. Equity Strategy: Opportunities in Energy Stocks

Also within our May Equity Strategy, we highlight opportunities within the Technology (Overweight), Financial (Overweight), and Energy (Market weight) Sectors.

U.S. Equity Strategy: Upgrading Utilities, Downgrading Manufacturing

While defensive sectors continue to lag, one cyclical sector, Energy, has surged to the top of our relative strength rankings. Though we continue to expect further consolidation and volatility, current sector leadership and mostly positive breadth indicators point to a risk-on environment. In today’s report we highlight attractive and actionable groups within Energy and Health Care: EN-08 Oil and Gas E&amp;P, Domestic, Large-Cap, HC-11 Cardiovascular Products, and HC-13 Surgical Devices &amp; Equipment... see pages 10-21.
