   OUR APPROACH - Macro Analytics

   We take a completely different approach to Techno-Fundamental Analysis. It is best summarized as follows:

            TIME FRAME                            DURATION                               APPROACH                         KEY TOOLS

            Intermediate                          12 Months                              Risk Analysis                    Global Macro Analysis
                                                                                                                          Tipping Points - Pivots

                                                                                                                          Proprietary Mandelbrot Fractal
                                                                                                                           Generator

   The Global Macro Analysis, which is so prevalent in our articles and on our Tipping Points site, plays the critical role of bridging our highly analytic Technical
   Analysis with our detailed Fundamental Analysis.


           We have found that, in the short term, the markets are driven by emotion and sentiment. In the longer term, they are driven by
           financial fundamentals. As Warren Buffett is often quoted as saying: “In the short term the market is a slot machine but in the
           long term it is a weighing machine.”

           We have found that the transition shows a lagging correlation between changes in the Global Macro, followed by Corporate
           Earnings, then followed by the sell side analyst community estimates.

           Our focus within the Global Macro is:

           i) Quantification of Risk,
           ii) Establishment of pivots through the mapping of Tipping Points, and
           iii) Identification of ever shifting competitive financial drivers to corporate profitability.

  • 13. Macro Analytics May 15th, 2012 MACRO ANALYTICS - I OUR APPROACH - Macro Analytics We take a completely different approach to Techno-Fundamental Analysis. It is best summarized as follows: TIME FRAME DURATION APPROACH KEY TOOLS Longer Term 18 Months + Fundamental Analysis Financial Metrics Intermediate 12 Months Risk Analysis Global Macro Analysis Tipping Points - Pivots Short Term Less than 90 Days Technical Analysis Elliott Wave Principle, WD Gann, JD Hurst, Bradley Model, Proprietary Mandelbrot Fractal Generator The Global Macro Analysis, which is so prevalent in our articles and on our Tipping Points site, plays the critical role of bridging our highly analytic Technical Analysis with our detailed Fundamental Analysis. We have found that, in the short term, the markets are driven by emotion and sentiment. In the longer term, they are driven by financial fundamentals. As Warren Buffett is often quoted as saying: “In the short term the market is a slot machine but in the long term it is a weighing machine.” We have found that the transition shows a lagging correlation between changes in the Global Macro, followed by Corporate Earnings, then followed by the sell side analyst community estimates. Our focus within the Global Macro is: i) Quantification of Risk, ii) Establishment of pivots through the mapping of Tipping Points, and iii) Identification of ever shifting competitive financial drivers to corporate profitability.
