Exciting New Venture: Thrasher Analytics

I have some news I’m excited to share with you all…

After winning the Charles Dow award last year for my paper on Forecasting a Volatility Tsunami, I’ve spent a great deal of time looking at ways to best use the tools I’ve built around the volatility market. After hearing a presentation by a major investment manager late last year, that they had a large risk within their strategy if the VIX were ever to spike, I realized there was a need within the market for better ways to gauge volatility and incorporate it into risk management processes. Having built such a model, one I’ve shared several times over the last year on this blog and social media, I’ve decided to launch a new service geared towards other financial advisors, professional traders and institutions called Thrasher Analytics LLC.

Thrasher Analytics will provide a newsletter with a focus on my volatility model, an economic dashboard as well as the technical analysis of major markets and sectors. My goal is not to tell subscribers what to specifically buy or sell, but rather to share my unique insights on risk management as it pertains to volatility, economic activity, and technical charts.

I will still be working full-time as a Portfolio Manager for Financial Enhancement Group (FEG) here in Indianapolis, this will simply be an additional project I am taking on. It’s also important to note that Thrasher Analytics is not in any way a registered investment advisor or affiliated with FEG.

I will also still be posting here at athrasher.com as well as Twitter & StockTwits, although my ‘best’ content will be reserved for what I include in the Thrasher Analytics newsletter.

I’m really excited to share this news with you and to hang a  shingle in an attempt to help others take a big step forward in handling volatility exposure and better manage market risk. If you have any questions please shoot me a message!
