Rankings, Trending and Deltas

Most of have followed or read about share trading would know about Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. The former uses various financial ratios (eg debt to equity) while the latter uses stock charting techniques (eg moving averages).

However, there is another method based on relative ranking. For whatever techniques used, when there is a quantity that is calculated for each stock, then the stocks can be ranked according to this quantity. Instead of looking at the value (say PE ratio), we rank the stocks according to this value (say PE ratio). So the ranking is 1, 2, 3, ....  where 1 is the best stock, based on that value.

Then we can analyse the movement of ranking, and pick the stocks that have moved in this ranking. Just to emphasise again, this ranking can be for any values or quantities, whether from Technical or Fundamental Analysis.

Here are some strategies for Ranking Analysis.

1. Top 10 stocks - search Ranking <= 10

2. Stock that moved inside the Top 10 just last week (looking for crossover) -
search Ranking - Trending - week2 > 10, week1 < 10

3. Improved Rank on % the most
search Ranking - Delta - 10 days - sorted Ascending

4. Ranking has improved, ie positive % change
search Ranking - Delta - 10 days < 0.0%

The two key searches are Trending and Delta. They need to be used for Ranking only. When using Trending and Delta, for an ordinary quantity, where bigger is better:

1. Value = X, this is the good level

2. The value crossover a certain threshold
search Value - Trending - week2 < X, week1 > X

3. Improved Value the most
search Value  - Delta - 4 weeks - sorted Descending

4. Value  has improved, ie positive % change
search Value - Delta - 4 weeks > 0.0%

Stocks to Watch - 9 Feb 2016 - 5 stocks to defy the downturn

VTG - Vita Group (Retailing)
DRM - Doray Energy (Gold)
AGL - Australian Gas Light
IGB - iShares Treasury
IAF - iShares Composite Bond

The Share Market has had one of those down days today - worldwide. Just up until today, things seem to be settled a little, then the dramatic drop today. In such a market, the one advice is to stay out, unless one plan to short some stocks.

Surprising the five mentioned above has been doing quite well recently. And for investors who wish to park their money somewhere, then these five are worth investigating further.

AGL - a venerable gas company, whether you call it blue chip or not, it has been around for years. It has all the advantages of incumbency over new players who would face barriers of entry. It is not recognized as a growth stock usually - but take a look at its graph below - growth chasers wouldn't complain about AGL's recent performance while others are falling. Good for small growth and to ride out the storm.

Doray Energy - Gold miners have been doing well in the past 6 months due to the worldwide market downturn. This small gold miner is interesting in various respects. Not only is it trending up nicely, it does have positive earnings and a low PE. Definitely warrant deeper investigation. Aimed at the Speculator.

VTG - This group has been doing well recently. Though the last few days, it has been retracing, the general performance has been good over the past year. May be a good choice for moderate growth and to hold during periods of uncertainty.

IGB and IAF - both of these are ETFs in Bonds. For those who really want to play it safe, yet may still want a positive outcome during market downturn, these are two ETFs worth looking at. As the general rule goes, if the stock market is going down, people tend to switch asset classes and bonds is one class to consider.
