Prices Rise On Monday
by Alex King, CEO, Cestrian Capital Research, Inc
First of all I should say that of course I am biased because here at Cestrian we earn a revenue share on all the YX Insights subscriptions we sell. OK. Glad that’s out of the way.
Now let’s get to the real point. The real point is that I’m very excited about the direction that Yimin is headed with his research. A former professional market-maker in fixed income, Yimin has been writing macro analysis for consumption by discerning investors and traders for some years now. It’s always been great work.
This year though, he has stepped up, and bigly. I’ll leave you to read his own pitch later but in essence, the YX Insights service now delivers what I believe to be a genuine edge by combining:
- Macro analysis to judge the context in which securities are moving - for “macro” I mean inflation, interest rates, money flows, liquidity.
- Fundamental analysis to understand securities issuers’ underlying performance.
- Technical analysis to judge the extent of price movements within the current environment.
- Quantitative analysis, using machine-learning AI, to act as an emotionless, fearless, greed-less third party sense-check on all the above; this includes extremely simple risk signals every trading day which you can use as either direct trading inputs, or background info, your choice.
Yimin covers all the key market-moving names - SPY, QQQ, the Mag7 stocks, Bitcoin, and bonds in the shape of TLT.
His work is, I can say confidently:
- Nothing at all like sell-side investment research as brought to you by Wall Street (and as paid for by Wall Street’s corporate clients, which is why it’s free! - you decide if that’s in your interest or not)
- Nothing at all like the 1000 Substacks you can read on the topic of US equity indices, Mag7, Bitcoin and such.
It is a truly differentiated service with a genuine edge.
Prices rise on June 2nd - this coming Monday. If you’d like to join up, now’s a great time.
And with that - I will hand over to Yimin himself to extoll the virtues of his YX Insights service! Just click here to learn more.
