This has been a crazy market, with dollar, US market and oil strong at the same time, with commodities up in general, but on a hair trigger. It’s a weird mix. But one that pivoted energy plays from dogs to stars once again. Which, of course, could pivot them back down, though not all oil names are created equal.I see three or four streams in my oil plays: (1) energy majors which have been most stable in inching back or overtaking their January highs, (2) energy MLPs, which have recovered back a…

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

Short-term rotation is underway. FANG stocks and parts of Tech, both long-term leaders, have become a short-term source of funds. Fortunately, this weakness is confined, resulting in sector and group rotation, not widespread selling. There is still plenty to like about this market, including areas we have shied away from for most of the year, such as energy and retailers.  This report highlights investment opportunities within the energy sector.
