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

With COVID-19 and stimulus packages being in the news day in and day out, here are my two cents on what policy makers need to do to get over this relatively quickly and with as little pain to the common man as possible. 
In my first note, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/the-month-the-world-stood-still-a-novice-small-business-guide-to-avoiding-a-long-recession" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Month the World Stood Still - A Novice Small Business Guide to Avoiding a Long Recession, </a>I wrote about the need for a globally coordinated minimum 30-day shutdown. I also spoke about the facts that as revenue falls to zero for most small businesses the governments will have to ensure that all costs go to zero as well for the duration of the shutdown and even a bit longer, if needed.
</div>
<div>
In this note, I'll provide a back of the envelope calculation for the associated costs with a global shutdown and compare it to the already announced stimulus packages.
As mentioned before, whether it's possible to do a global coordinated shutdown or not is a different story.
