Where this is worked out
This daily is the surface. The analysis behind it is carried in these titles, which are on a paid plan:
- Sector Rotation Weekly — Relative strength across the eleven sector funds, cross-sectional dispersion against its own three years, breadth, and the sector medians of return on capital with the count behind each one.
- Cross-Asset Factor Weekly — Rolling correlations, the FDR-controlled factor table, and which relationships changed sign or lost significance since last week.
- Cross-Asset Volatility Monthly — Where volatility is rich and where it's cheap — implied minus realized, standardized, across equities, gold, oil and the euro.
