what we do

Our focus is on the development of proprietary geodesic models that characterize the behavior of leveraged long/short ETFs in pairs trades using first principles of Hamilton-Lagrange-Euler mechanics. Because of tracking errors & daily compounding phenomena, equal weightings of leveraged ETFs in a pairs trade are virtually never 50-50. Daily data & graphics will show subscribers where neutral pair weightings have moved along the path of the pairs geodesic thereby providing multiple market direction & re-balance indicators.

Today's Commentary

1) today the markets trade down in a u-shaped curve and then almost close up for the day. a clear demonstration that a considerable amount money is ready to be put to use. but this rally, since the mar-09 lows, is again showing signs it is loosing more momentum.

Symbol Last Change
Dow 7,975.85 41.74 (0.52%)
Nasdaq 1,606.71 15.16 (0.93%)
S&P 500 835.48 7.02 (0.83%)

2) the %change(m) re-balance indicator for the SDS-SSO model has moved closer yet to crossing the x-axis. a value of zero (0) with momentum pointing upward would indicate a local top in the S&P 500. apparently this bull rally wants to take a break - barring any upcoming bullish market news announcements.

3) i would say sentiment is not necessarily bearish or bullish right now. we seem to be in a neutral trading range while the market digests the gains we've had over the last 3 - 4 weeks. these periods are difficult to gauge. earnings season is upon us which may be another factor for sluggish movement.

neutral and aggressive performance traders probably ought to consider over-weighting toward SDS since direction, though choppy, is creeping in a bearish direction.

4) by next update or sooner i will have the blended performance scenario included in the spreadsheet analysis for comparison. so there will be 3 methods of applying the model to your benefit.

also, my blog is just about designed and ready for it's first posting. these update emails will be automatically posted on the blog and categorized for easy navigation. i will announce the URL in the next subscriber update.

the blog should be a priority place for subscribers to visit on a regular basis. my hope is it will develop into a knowledge base and forum for subscribers to post comments and questions from which others can learn.

take
care and happy trading!

best regards,
mike james
