Intraday Watch List for Wednesday, July 22nd...

The street didn't seem to take too kindly to many of the earnings announcements that were made after the bell on Tuesday and Wednesday could be harry as a result.

There were a few trend reversals yesterday which made things tough but something tells me today will be a bit easier to forecast.  As you can imagine, the list is light on long names.

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...

'What happens if this bubble bursts?' On the surface, it's hard to imagine a repeat of the contagion o...
