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.

Germany, the EU's most consequential power, now has a "traffic-lights" coalition government with an ambitious agenda for its structural transformation into a green, digitized economy. 
Socially-Liberal policies, including expunging 'race" from the constitution, will allow greater entry of technology professionals, and relatively smooth path toward citizenship, which should attract considerable talent. 
With the debt brake absent in 2022, the state railway and development bank will borrow big to fund the investment surge, lowering Germany's current account surplus and boosting Eurozone growth.
