Technical Analysis – Average True Range
It’s no secret that, personally, I’m not the biggest fan of technical indicators. That being said, while testing Equities Lab most recent release I seem to have stumbled across an operator that consistently improves the performance of every screen that I use it with.
What exactly is the Average True Range indicator?…
Mining Companies have been crashing since 2011, why are they rallying now?
In 2011, mining companies hit their highest point in 20 years, and though this was a great time for their investors, it was short lived. Since then Metals and Mining companies have steadily declined in price; that is, until this year.…
Why the Karma will not be a Tesla Competitor
In 2012, two years after I moved to Atlanta, I believed that I had found the perfect dream car. I was wandering around a Cadillac dealership here in Atlanta as my mother was car shopping and I spotted the Fisker Karma – a beautifully designed hybrid vehicle that I had never seen on the road before.…
Millennials, It’s Easy to Become a Millionaire.
I just read an article on marketwatch with the title “Majority of Millennials doubt they become millionaires.” http://www.marketwatch.com/story/majority-of-millennials-doubt-they-can-become-millionaires-2016-08-03 This upsets me because it means two things 1) People aren’t willing to look at the long term anymore – they want everything now. 2) People just don’t know how to do math anymore.…
Pokémon Go, Nintendo’s Saving Grace or a Desperate Hail Mary?
In recent years Nintendo has come on hard times as people

I recently went to my very first Atlanta Braves baseball game, which is weird since I’ve lived in Atlanta for over six years now. I went to the game with two friends, fellow college students, and as we were leaving we started talking about how one of my friends only had $14 in his bank account.…
“As I sit here writing this, procrastinating from preparing for a class I’m teaching bright and early in the morning, I can’t help but watch the time tick by realizing that each minute that goes by is one minute closer to one of the biggest decisions made by a nation’s people in quite some time – Brexit.…
Validating Investment Screens
It is honestly not very hard to find a screen that can easily beat the market over the past 20 years. If you have a rudimentary understanding of the market you can create a screen in a few seconds that can make you a great “return”.
Here is example of screen that does just that.…
Deciles
When it comes to figuring out what positions you want to add to your portfolio, it can be extremely useful to sort the results of your screen even further. We can do this by using deciles, or breaking up our results into units of 10% as we rank our results based on whatever variable we decide is important.…
Industry Analysis
Every time I sit down to speak with someone about the markets they ask me one of two questions.
- What stock should I invest in?
- I’m not an investment advisor, so legally I can’t tell you.
- Again, I’m not an investment advisor, but the cool thing is that we can actually take a look at how every single industry has performed over the past twenty years within Equities Lab.
