Intraday Watch List for Thursday, July 23rd...

Because I don't really care that blogging is about 10 years behind the times, I'm back for another daily intraday watch list.

Earnings season is still in full effect... the only thing I'd be on the watch out for is the crude inventories report that comes out at 10 EST in case you're playing energy names.  Also, be on the lookout for CELG earnings and what that can do for other biotech names... the sector has been one of best performers of the year.

Here we go...

LONG BREAKOUTS:

SGEN
DST
TIF
CMG
ACN
DNKN
UA
GME


SHORT BREAKOUTS:

TMUS
HLF
FEYE
RAX
SNDK


LONG TRENDS:

UNH
GS
EXPE
INCY
HCA
BMY
CME
DG


SHORT TRENDS:

GMCR
UNP
WYNN
SSYS
KORS
AKAM
CVX
LOW
XOM
Z
VIPS
LNG


LONG REVERSIONS:

Good luck everyone and don't forget to keep practicing at www.chartarcade.com

Variable Types for Principal Component & Factor Modeling

TRANSFORMING RAW DATA INTO INSIGHT & ACTIONABLE INFORMATION After reading the book Moneyball for the first time, I built a factor model in hopes of finding a way to finally be competitive in my fantasy baseball league - which I had consistently been terrible at.  It worked immediately.  By taking raw data and turning it into actionable information, I was able to solve a problem that had long perplexed me.  It was like discovering a new power.  What else could I do with this? Today, I build models for everything and have come a long way since that first simple spreadsheet but still use a lot of the same concepts. To build a traditional factor model, you would regress a dependent variable against a series of independent variables and use the resulting beta coefficients as the factor weights... assuming your resulting r-squared and t-test showed a meaningful relationship of course. Variables typically fall into one of two categories... continuous or dichotomous....

Convexity as a Technical Indicator - Applications of the Second Derivative...

WHAT'S IN A NAME? In investment parlance, the term 'convexity' is typically reserved for the topic of fixed income risk; especially in regards to debt with embedded optionality where negative convexity is a prominent pricing factor.  However, it is important to recall that 'convexity' (or 'concavity', for that matter) is a mathematical measurement used to describe the second derivative of a continuous, nonlinear function on an interval. The issue with confining the term to a single connotation is that - for better or worse - investment tools have become increasingly nonlinear since the days of the 60/40 model and convexity is present in a number of applications.  The extent to which it has been circumscribed to a single asset class is evident in equity option jargon where the second derivative of the pricing function is called 'gamma' instead of convexity.  Of course, the argument could be made that the principle purpose of option vernacular is to c...
