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

As the broad market takes a breather, the weight of the evidence continues to support our belief that we are in the early stages of a broad-based advance. As long as there are no significant negative market developments, a buy-the-dip mentality is warranted. In today’s report we highlight attractive Groups and stocks within Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Transportation: Hotels &amp; Resorts, Large/Mid-Cap, Hospitals, and Vehicle Rentals/Leasing.
