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

<p>Equity markets have remained volatile, consolidating between the recent high in late January and the low on February 9th. While the market has yet to retest either the highs or the lows, we still see both as critical levels. With support levels holding, we retain our long-term bullish stance despite the expectation of continued volatility and consolidation. In today’s report we highlight attractive and actionable groups within Technology and Financials. Within Tech we focus on TE-01 and TE-02, our Large- and Mid-Cap Semiconductor Groups (respectively), and within Financials we highlight FN-34, our Electronic Exchanges/Markets Group.</p>
