The most accurate play in each family

Each family's play whose calls went the right way most often, tested on 351 stocks since 2005, and what it says about ARM now.

A call is right when the stock rose after an in call or fell after an out call. Trend plays are built to take many small losses for a few big wins, so their hit rates run lower; being right often isn't the same as making the most money. How we test a play.

Each candle is one trading day: the box spans the open and close, the thin line the day's high and low. Hollow boxes closed up, filled boxes closed down. Toggle the averages to see the trend the plays read. Dots above the candles mark news and company filings: hover or tap one to see the story and how the stock moved from the last close before it, against the market on the same days.

If the market cracks: the storm test

How the storm test works
ExposureModerate3 of 10 points
  • Market swings3/3
  • Past crashes0/2
  • Debt0/3
  • Run-up0/2
  • It moves about 2.8× its index.

Past crashes, peak to low

Too young to have lived through a market crash, so there is no crash record to read.

  • Beta2.82Moves about 2.8× as much as the S&P 500 week to week.
  • Downside capture215%In months the S&P 500 fell, this fell 215% as much on average.
  • Two-year change+69%Run-ups of 100%+ crashed 40% or more within two years about half the time (Greenwood, Shleifer & You).
  • From 52-week high−42%
  • Debt to equity0.06×
  • Net debt / EBITDANet cashHolds more cash than debt.

A crash marks every stock down; debt decides which companies come through. The storm test scores both halves: how hard the stock swings with the market, and how much debt it carries into a downturn. It describes fragility; it does not predict a crash.
