Editor's Note

Dear Opalesque Reader,

Why are these Technical Research publications relevant?

Opalesque Technical Research:

  • Explains markets and dynamics
  • Covers global equity indices, fixed income, currencies, commodities (16 markets per week!)
  • Is important as correlations of most strategies to main markets have increased
Opalesque noted very early that the correlation of the typical hedge fund strategies amongst themselves and with other markets and asset classes has increased. Therefore, we developed a product that helps investors, managers and other professionals to “look ahead” and achieve a better understanding of the markets. No matter what your investment interest is - understanding the sixteen most important global markets will contribute to your professional and investment success.

Institutional quality research

Opalesque offers this institutional quality research at the best possible value for money at only $169 for 6 months, $299 for one or $399 for two years (see here - www.opalesque.com/SubscriptionRatesTRB.html for full list of subscription fees). Note you can get up to $200 additional discounts when signing up to multiple Opalesque subscriptions at the same time.

With the Briefings and the Weekly Outlook, Opalesque readers have access to four Technical Research publications per week, covering what are for many finance professionals the sixteen most important global markets.

As a special benefit for our subscribers, I am producing each quarter a long term outlook utilizing monthly charts. This document is meant to provide a historical, as well as a forward thinking forecast within one easy read.

About TRB

Opalesque Technical Research Briefing offers a global perspective/overview on all major markets, including Equity Indices, Fixed Income, Currencies, and Commodities. The Technical Research publications are produced and edited by Gregory J. Troccoli, who currently holds the position of Executive Head of Sales for Structured Investment Management (SIM). For many years, Greg held the position as First Vice-President - Chief Technical Analyst at Prudential Securities. During his tenure at Prudential, Greg was solely responsible for publishing in-dept analysis of all global markets (in excess of 60). This research was utilized by 3500 institutions worldwide, including eight central banks, proprietary trading desks, major oil companies, and a large contingent of retail investors. In addition, the author enjoyed an extensive media presence including bi-monthly appearances on CNBC and defined monthly time slot with Bloomberg network.

Opalesque Technical Research is unique compared to most available research which is fundamental in nature, and not technically (chart) oriented. In addition, most current available research is mainly equity based, and not global in nature.

Opalesque Technical Research Briefing is published three days a week: Generally on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The cover page reviews the S&P 500 index as well as Crude Oil. The second page includes a Precious Metal (most likely Gold), the US Treasury 10- year note, and a major Global Currency. The third page concludes with analysis of a major Stock Index abroad, a commodity market that is in play (e.g. coffee or soybeans), and an International Fixed income product or any number of other markets. Therefore, three days a week a three page document covering 8 major markets will be available.
