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

(for an independent analysis of today's action, please visit briefing.com/investor.)

the markets today did follow-thru with yesterdays selling right from the beginning of trading. the SDS-SSO model analysis using PID-5 optimization parameters has indicated a re-balance to neutral weights to maintain neutral performance. in addition, polarity has changed and bias has been shifted to SDS in the ultra perfromance scenario.

the models analysis using the PID-7 optimization parameters has not indicated a re-balance to neutral weights yet nor did PID-7 follow-thru by staying
below it's axis of oscillation as it did yesterday. the PID-7 algorithm requires 2 consecutive trading days across it's oscillation axis to satisfy the criteria to declare re-polarization in the ultra performance scenario. so in the spreadsheet, the numbers show the re-balance based on the heretofore PID-5 optimization standard. the PID-7 charts are included for continued observation.

my interpretation of the data suggests that for the moment we are in a subjective no-man's land meaning the market still has potential to go either way, bullish or bearish. recall around APR-21 we were in a similar no-man's land trading range. if we linger here it might be an indication that buyers are still prone to buy on the dip as they have over and over since MAR-9 regardless of the news. pundits have been saying over and over that that kind of buying is unsustainable. well, the message never got to buyers. we just have to wait and see and be prepared for another buying spree if it comes.

best regards,
mike james
