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.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Monthly chip revenues declined slightly in November, according to the SIA.  This SmartKarma Insight examines recently-reported industry revenues to see how they compare with the long-term trend and to understand whether or not the current uptick is likely to continue.  The conclusion is that today's market is higher than it would be if the China-US trade war were not a concern.  A mid-2020 collapse is more than likely.

WSTS (through the Semiconductor Industry Association - SIA) has announced that October semiconductor revenues increased to $36.6 billion, up 2.9% from $35.6 billion in September.  What does this mean for the current cycle?  Although things look good, our optimism is guarded.

WSTS: Semiconductor Sales Grow Month/Month

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a collapse, as it does every few years.  Investors who understand why this occurs, and how it hits certain sub-sectors more than others, will have an advantage when making investments in the industry.  This Insight helps readers to understand commodity and non-commodity chips and how to tell one from another.  It first defines commodities, then explains which semiconductors are and are not commodities, listing makers of each type, followed by explanations of the impact of commodity cycles upon the semiconductor market as a whole.  It closes with advice on understanding the market and provides the likely duration of the current cycle.
