Garrett Baldwin and Scott Dunn explore alternative investment strategies, value and momentum strategies, tail-risk analysis, and behavioral finance. We take a highly quantitative approach to trading and investing and blend it with macroeconomic analysis and deep research. We also highly emphasis risk management practices. Long call/put, spread trading, value reversion, RSI/MFI reversions.
Play defense today... Now is the time to start to assess what you own and ask the bigger question of WHY you own it.
If you can't answer why you own a stock... take the time right now to try again.
From there, it's about rotating into things that matter. We are witnessing a shocking end to 30 years of cheap money from Asia propelling U.S. equities and risk assets. It might not cause a true crash, but the era is coming to a close. Markets are trying to figure out how to readjust the risk.
The 3-minute chart on a day like today will be vital... providing some clues into algo activity and occasional squeezes that traders must follow. I highly encourage you to keep the 24 minute (red line 8-ema) and 60-minute (orange line 20-ema) adjusted lines open. Watch how they behave on a day like today where markets are looking for direction. Sometimes, we round trip and people start guessing direction. But this could offer some clues on policy and expectations on the next few days while vol picks up and concerns grow about the state of Greenland and Japan.
