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

polarity has switched back biased toward SSO. not surprising. look at the chart in the spreadsheet. the behavior of the market has been back and forth for the past 2-1/2 weeks. also, yesterday we had a re-balance signal which has also been back and forth with the market. i updated the backtest data for both neutral and ultra scenarios to accurately reflect these frequent vacillations.

take a look at the weights of your ETFs and evaluate whether you need to make any changes. the market has vascillated so much recently that it's deen difficult to make gains for reasons illustrated in yesterday's commentary. this "deflation" market recovery off of march's lows is defying gravity right about now. stay attentive and refrain from knee jerk reactions to the news in the mdeia. the market is very bull-headed at the moment and seems nothing is bad news anymore. this sentiment too will change.

i'm still looking into making final tweaks to go into the anlaysis of the model for the 2.0 release. i'm looking forward to completing this process by next monday.

cheers and
best regards,
mike james
