What does it mean if a stock nears top ranking among its peers, like Chevron is doing now among the top 11 energy and utility assets in the world? (The stock moved up a place higher from last week and is at the second spot now). It means that Chevron’s best performance is behind and [...]

We carried the Long India – Short China strategy on 21 Feb. If this was not enough, we surprised by publishing an academic paper (Kyoto University Journal) on performance cycles suggesting Nikkei outperformance against Brazil and China and Nikkei underperformance against India and Russia.

We wrote on divergent pairs and how such recurrence performances can challenge the inefficient behavioral school, which believes that mispricing in markets are not easy to capture. Large 100% absolute outperformance of a component against its index or sector peer like we illustrated in Grasim and L&T (Indian multibillion dollar companies) might look like coincidence, [...]

If you would have known that SNP will underperform BETXT from 20 Aug by 16% what would you have done? You would have created a BETXT portfolio without SNP in it. How would it have helped?
