Severe declines in both green and white sturgeon come as scientists have documented the collapse of other...

Jeff Miller submits: Each month the market reacts and over-reacts to the payroll employment report. The problem is that the BLS has been asked to measure the monthly change in employment. Why? Because that is what we want to know. The problem? It is an impossible job. The BLS attempts to solve the problem in a very professional fashion, by estimating the total employment in each of two months and...

Jeff Miller submits: Investors need to understand public opinion. We have plenty of information from polls, but how can we use this to our advantage? This is a complex subject, which will be a major chapter in the book in progress that forms the basis for our work. Our purpose here is to get the topic going with a few observations. Each idea will be amplified and supported in future articles. Let...

Jeff Miller submits: The quest for performance sometimes drives a rapid shift from one market sector to another. This can come from major hedge fund reallocations, but also due to marginal changes from large mutual funds. Our TCA-ETF model shows us the direction of these moves by capturing recent trends. It also includes some sectors that we expect to return to favor on a cyclical basis. Even for...

Jeff Miller submits: We join many others in closely following David Merkel's work on The Aleph Blog , one of our featured sites since its inception. David covers a variety of interesting subjects. He is authoritative on some and inquisitive on others, and he knows the difference. Yesterday he cited a Bloomberg article pointing out the failure of candidates to speak out on the credit crisis.

Jeff Miller submits: Computer models and stock screens should generate fresh ideas. We are often surprised by the rankings from our TCA-ETF model, which combines attention to Trend, recognition of Cycles, and a touch of Anticipation. While the factors are technical, it is always interesting to compare the results with fundamental metrics and prevailing analyst viewpoints. (For new readers, there is...

Jeff Miller submits: At "A Dash" we have often noted that The Big Picture highlights the question of the day. The prolific Barry Ritholtz points readers to many key topics. We sometimes disagree with the conclusions, but never the agenda. Regular readers note the differences in opinion, but that is a form of selection bias. We are free to pick the points where we object. We explained this early on...

Jeff Miller submits: ETF sector leadership continues to shift rapidly. The most dramatic move of the week came from a semiconductor ETF, which moved from #37 to #5 in the ratings from our TCA-ETF model. We try to look at both Trend and Cycle, while doing some Anticipation of key swings. Ideally, we exit positions when new ETFs gain strength, surpassing current holdings. Over the last few weeks there...

Jeff Miller submits: One of the most common mistakes among Wall Street participants -- experts included -- is over-reaction to a change in direction. This occurs when there is news that shows direction, and direction alone. Interpreting data requires three different pieces of information: Complete Story »

Our blogger friend Bryan of Why Now? alerts everyone in a recent comment at the end of this post that Northwest Florida's hapless congressman, Jeff Miller, is running a silly poll on his official web site. Miller's poll asks the rock-stupid question, "Do you support drilling in the Gulf of Mexico for oil and natural gas?" Of course, had the question been worded otherwise the results would be different....

Jeff Miller submits: In the midst of extreme volatility, financial stocks have shown some relative strength. Some have described this as a rotation out of the popular hedge fund position : long energy, short financials. There are many different ETF choices related to financial sectors. Two weeks ago we highlighted the rise of these sectors, featuring regional banks (IAT), but the strength ratings...
