Dear Friends, I have a special announcement.
Over the last 13 years, I have been searching for the best information available to help guide us through investing in a constantly uncertain world.
One of the reasons why I am with Raymond James is that we have developed a strong relationship with the research division that has reaped many benefits.
However, over the last several months, I have been searching for new answers and ideas for the unprecedented times we live in.
To help navigate 2023 and beyond, I have added two new research companies to our system.
Refintiv’s Starmine Analyst System (ARM for short)
DeMark Indicators Research and Execution.
Starmine is a collective-based research body combined with a proprietary algorithm that displays value to a fund or company in several areas. The ARM system looks at changes in analsyst sentiment and considers relative price movement, earnings estimates, plus market sector to create its score.
For more information on Starmine, please click below.
To complement this new research, we are adding a new market calculator, DeMark Indicators, to our execution plan.
Tom Demark developed an algorithm that looks for momentum shifts in the market before they happen. Tom completed this by hand back in the early 90s (yes, no Excel program, he's just that smart) and has refined its use to multiple analyses, but for our purposes, his primary focus is described below.
DeMark's “Sequential” indicator is a multi-phase indicator that analyzes price data to provide insight into the inherent strength or weakness of the market's trend and its likelihood of reversing.
DeMark indicators can work on a daily, monthly, and yearly bias. So, in theory, we can get better guidance on multiyear setups and risk reduction strategies.
If you would like an example of how this works, I would be happy to set up an example for the discussion, or click on the link below for more information on all DeMark indicators.
These charges will be automatic.
More announcements are coming soon. All my best
Christopher R. Lakian
