J T L Market Technicals
Financial market intelligence, through decades of research
our
MISSION
PROVIDE TIMELY ANALYSIS
The markets act as a discounting mechanism, constantly looking out on the horizon to chart their next course. By evaluating Market Technicals — gauges for underlying supply/demand balance, our research assesses risk and explores opportunities in the markets.
PROVIDE THOUGHT-PROVOKING IDEAS
"History doesn't repeat but often rhymes..." or "Is this time different?" Well, the truth often lies somewhere in between.
Decades of research on hundreds of years of data allow for in-depth looks at what is the same and what may be different this time.
"...chance favors only the prepared mind." — Louis Pasteur —
PROVIDE UNBIASED ASSESSMENTS
By focusing on Market Technicals, we listen not to what the markets say, but watch what they do. Actions often speak louder than words.
PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE
No market operates in a vacuum. In this interconnected world of ours, we survey U.S. and international equity markets, U.S. sectors and stocks, interest rates, currency spot rates, energy and metals... and, most importantly, how one may affect the other.
