About financial risk

I love to find new indicators. I work very hard to find them. This is what I really enjoy and keeps me moving.

The enclosed chart, for instance, shows what I call financial risk (click on the chart to enlarge it). I check it daily, I am unable to tell you how I compute it but what I can say is that every time this gauge rises the markets, after a few days, declines. When risk declines the equity market rises.

I show this indicator in each issue of The Peter dag Portfolio, which I edit since 1977.

One more note for the option traders. A rise or decline in financial risk is accompanied by rising or declining volatility.
