Intraday Watch List for Tuesday, July 21st...

Yesterday was a typical summer day in the markets where there was little activity and it was hard to make money.  However, quite a few names from yesterday's list did very well (GPRO, TSLA, MNST, IOC, SSYS)... as always, there were a few that fared poorly too.

One big thing that I've noticed helps me (and that I've gotten away from lately), is practicing chart reading.  Check out the website http://www.chartarcade.com/ it's a great way to practice and I have noticed a correlation in my performance and the number of days I dedicate 10 to 15 minutes practicing on this site.

One note, a lot of energy names are overextended to the downside so I've taken them off my watch list.

Modeling Black-Litterman; Part 1 - Reverse Optimization

  "The 'radical' of one century is the 'conservative' of the next." -Mark Twain In this series, I'm going to explore some of the advances in portfolio management, construction, and modeling since the advent of Harry Markowitz's Nobel Prize winning Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) in 1952. MPT's mean-variance optimization approach shaped theoretical asset allocation models for decades after its introduction.  However, the theory failed to become an accepted industry practice, so we'll explore why that is and what advances have developed in recent years to address the shortcomings of the original model. The Problems with Markowitz For the purpose of illustrating the benefits of diversification in a simple two-asset portfolio, Markowitz's model was a useful tool in producing optimal weights at each level of assumed risk to create efficient portfolios.   However, in reality, investment portfolios are complex and composed of large numbers of holdin...

Bitcoin Contagion?...

Same Song, Next Verse... On April 6th, the cryptocurrency market breached the $2 trillion mark in asset valuation for the first time.   However, on April 19th, Bitcoin traded below its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) for the first time since October and has, thus far, failed to reclaim that technical safety level.  Also, another bearish indicator is forming as it looks like the 20-day SMA will cross below the 50-day today.   As someone who graduated college in December of 1999 right into the waiting arms of the dotcom crash of 2000 and then, about 7 years later, had a front row seat to the housing crash and subsequent financial crisis, this all looks eerily familiar...  Bitcoint has had a 6x run-up within the span of a baseball season and crypto - in aggregate - is currently about 2% the size of the US equity market.   This all begs the question... 'What happens if this bubble bursts?' On the surface, it's hard to imagine a repeat of the contagion o...
