The U.S. Senate passed S. 2155 that would offer relief from a number of Dodd-Frank provisions. At the core of the overhaul is an assumption that the financial overhaul under Dodd-Frank was far too aggressive and harmed smaller banks in the process, all while attempting to rein in the bigger financial firms that caused the 2008 crisis. Such a move could free up many regional banks from dealing with heightened regulatory scrutiny that was only meant to rein in the bigger banking institutions.

This week, we look at three stocks that could do well if all proceeds according to plan.

Then, Lee Gettess provides his perspective on both the S&P and the bond market for the coming week.

Next, we have Murray Ruggiero who talks about the development of cycle-based trading.

Last, Chris Verhaegh covers his PULSE Options Weekly Newsletter.

Enjoy!

Dodd-Frank Overhaul: Three Stocks to Own Right Now

by TradeWins Publishing

The U.S. Senate passed S. 2155 that would offer relief from a number of Dodd-Frank provisions. According to JDSUPRA:

“The Act would also reduce the regulatory burdens on financial institutions, particularly financial institutions with total assets of less than $10 billion. Bank holding companies with up to $3 billion in total assets would be permitted to comply with less restrictive debt-to-equity limitations instead of consolidated capital requirements. This change should promote growth by smaller bank holding companies, organically or by acquisition. Larger institutions should benefit from the higher asset thresholds that would apply to systemically important banks subject to enhanced prudential standards. The higher thresholds may lead to increased merger activity between and among regional and super regional banks.”

At the core of the overhaul is an assumption that the financial overhaul under Dodd-Frank was far too aggressive and harmed smaller banks in the process, all while attempting to rein in the bigger financial firms that caused the 2008 crisis.

At the moment, banks with assets of $50 billion or more are considered systemic financial institutions and are therefore subjected to stricter oversight. However, as it turns out, that $50 billion figure was far too low, which in turn harmed the smaller banks.

Even former Massachusetts’ representative, Barney Frank just admitted it was a mistake. “That’s too low. That was a mistake. We should have made it much higher” as noted by the ABA Banking Journal. “When it comes to lending and job creation, the regional banks are obviously very, very important. I hope that if we get some regulatory changes, we give some regulatory relaxation to those banks.”

Cycle-Based Trading

by Murray Ruggiero

The following is an excerpt from Murray Ruggiero's Cybernetic Trading Strategies

Cycles are recurring patterns in a given market. The area of cycles has been intensely researched for over 100 years. In fact, there are organizations dedicated to the study of cycles. Cycle-based trading became a hot topic because of the software available for analyzing financial data and for developing trading systems. Because of this software, we can see how a market is really composed of a series of different cycles that together form its general trading patterns. We can also see that the markets are not stationary. This means that the cycles in a market change over time. Change occurs because the movements of a market are not composed solely of a series of cycles. Fundamental forces, as well as noise, combine to produce the price chart.

Cycle-based trading uses only the cycle and the noise part of the signal. There are many tools that can be used for cycle analysis. The best known are the mechanical cycles tools that are laid over a chart. An example is the Stan Ehrlich cycle finder, a mechanical tool that is overlaid on a chart to detect the current dominant cycle.

Among the several numerical methods for finding cycles, the most well known is Fourier analysis. However, Fourier analysis is not a good tool for finding cycles in financial data because it requires a long, stationary series of data – that is, the cycle content of the data does not change. The best numerical method for finding cycles in financial data is the maximum entrophy method (MEM), an autoregressive method that fits an equation by minimizing error. The original MEM method for extracting cycles from data was discovered by J.P. Burg in 1967. Burg wrote a thesis on MEM, which was applied to oil exploration in the 1960’s. The method was used to analyze the returning spectra from sound waves sent into rock to detect oil. There are several products that use the MEM algorithm. The first cycle-based product was MESA (Maximum Entropy Spectral Analysis), by John Ehlers. It then became available as a stand-alone Windows product as well as an add-in for TradeStation. Another powerful product is TradeCycles, co-developed by Ruggiero Associates and Scientific Consultant Services. There are other products, such as Cycle Finder by Walter Bresser, but they do not offer the ability to back-test results. If you cannot use a tool to back-test your results, then, in my opinion, you should be very careful trying to trade it.

PULSE Options Weekly Newsletter

by Chris Verhaegh

Every week Chris publishes his PULSE Options Weekly Newsletter. The following is an excerpt from his most recent issue.

First Things First

This upcoming week is the last week of the month. But more than just the last week of the month, it’s the last week of March (the third month of the year). And as such, it is the last day of the Quarter.

Please understand that Mutual Funds are only required to send out statements to their clients on a quarterly basis. And as such, the last day of each Quarter is a bigger deal than you might realize.

You see Mutual Funds are famous for hiding things in plain sight. And by that I mean that a Mutual Fund may buy a good performing stock in the last week of the Quarter so that it is able to report that stock as one of its “Holdings” (never mind the fact it did not buy the stock when it was cheap and it didn’t participate in the stock’s run-up).

Because of this unfortunate reality, quite often you will see a little extra buying taking place of stocks that have performed well over the preceding three months. Please understand I am not accusing all Mutual Funds of this practice. Certain Funds replicate specific Indices. That is a Fund may own stock in all 500 companies which make up the S&P 500. There is no window-dressing in an Index Fund.

  4. You should trade or invest only “risk capital” – money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.

  5. All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.

  6. Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading.  TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

  7. No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial.  No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.
