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>Crude oil is breaking below the all important 200-day moving average and, with abysmal RS, we are forced to cut ties with the Sector; moving to underweight from market weight. Weakness can be seen across the board, from the E&amp;P companies to the service companies. Perhaps the biggest beneficiaries of declining oil prices will be the Consumer and the Emerging Markets. We would also be cautious of financials with large exposures to energy companies.</p>
