Quantifying social mood is the next step after Behavioral finance and Socionomic theory.

The last time we made a case in favor of football compared to baseball under the backdrop of Robert Prechter’s Socionomics, the study of human social behavior. Immediately after the post I was corrected by experts from Socionomics explaining why football was also a bullish sport like baseball.

These were their observations, “Mukul, we’re going to tentatively label Soccer, or Football, a bull market sport unless evidence shows otherwise. We first toyed with the idea that attendance figures of the World Cup might give us a clue as to determine if Soccer is a bull or bear market sport. The only correlation we found is that attendance size is relative to the host country. For example, attendance in England (1966) is much higher than Chile (1962). Next, we followed the history of soccer, from its primitive conception to the present and found that the game was allowed by authorities and official rules were adopted during bull markets. On the flip-side, England banned the sport during the bear market of 1314. But to make things more confusing, Queen Elizabeth I banned the sport in 1517, but it was not rigorously enforced. Soccer Stars: Pele is heralded as the best soccer player on the planet and his career was during the bull market from 1957-1971. There is physical contact in soccer but not to the same degree as compared to American football, Hockey or Rugby.”

Performance cycles is a term coined by Orpheus Capitals. This is another name for time triads, time arbitrage, time fractals but expressed in terms of relative performance. It’s a bounded oscillator that moves in a range say from 1 to 30. 1 is top relative performance and 30 is worst performance. The idea is that performance is cyclical. A top performer will underperform in future and vice versa. A top relative performer is also the worst value pick and the top relative underperformer is the best value pick.

Today we initiate new pairs as SNP, TGN. TEL, ATB get ready to underperform BETXT. BRD - BETXT remains a running pair in favor of BRD.

We close ATB-BETXT as ATB tops performance cycles and gets ready to underperform. The DOW and STOXX outperformance against many BVB majors has topped. Both DOW and STOXX get ready to underperform. This is why we closed DOW-BETXT and DOW-SIF5 Futures. TLV is ready to underperform BETXT leading to a close in running pair. Though the performance cycle is up for Bio, the bottoming process is ongoing. We have a close signal there. We review next week in case the pair has to be restarted. Barring COMI - BETXT which hit a stop, all other pairs delivered 5%, 18%, 47%, and 6% respectively.

The latest Alpha Romania carries the latest numeric ranking, numeric ranking changes, long only – short only signals, running pair performance signals, performance and pair cycles and strategy updates. COMI, AZO, CMP, ALR are the top ranked stocks, while SIFs remain the worst ranked and hence the best potential outperformers for weeks ahead. All of short only signals closed last week with gains on SIF4, SIF2, SIF3 and BETFI. BRD is the only short signal still running with a profit of 15%.
