Daily Down Run, Our Stocks
Looking for stocks or portfolios to avoid holding or to short / bet against?
Do you want to identify inefficient stocks that have more historical price risk than expected return than other stocks?
CQNS DOWN is a quantitative analysis of US listed stocks that an investor might like to avoid or short, while also hedging upside risk. These are inefficient portfolios of stocks of money-losing companies with significantly poor CQNS scores. These have significantly more risk than expected return, and are based on our CQNS DOWN algorithm. Inefficient portfolios are often one or a few stocks, as diversification removed the exceptional level of risk in these stocks.
These stocks are not just inefficient. The companies behind these stocks have negative net income. Currently, stocks of companies with negative net income have 3.5x the price risk as investing in the S&P 500 ETF.
What you receive:
A set of optimized stock portfolios that are the most inefficient, and have the worst risk-return trade-off. We typically provide the top 25 of these portfolios, along with their portfolio CQNS score.
In addition to finding and providing a set of optimized stock portfolios by CQNS score, we provide additional analytical deliverables, as follows:
- Key data validation parameters
- Overall stock market returns over the past year for SPY, QQQ and IWM ETFs, our riskfree rate, and the expected return from risk assets.
For each stock that passed data validation, over the past 253 trading days:
- Stock variance for each stock, normalized to allow comparison.
- CQNS score for each stock
- Volume for each stock (% average)
- Price Change (% average)
- BETA (versus index ETF used)
- Stocks that meet a threshold for non-normal distributions in fourth-order price distribution (kurtosis) with low or high daily price variance
- Stocks that meet a threshold for non-normal distributions in the third-order price distribution (skewness)
- Dividends paid (% average price)
- Variance of daily closing stock price (value, normalized)
- Expected returns (%)
- Stocks with negative, high, or low BETA values (BETA value).
- Stocks with stock price change (% of average)
- Stocks with volume spikes (# of days volume)
- Stocks that split (split ratio)

How we perform the analysis:
We start with all 11,000+ US listed tickers that traded that day and perform data analysis and validation. We then run our quantitative analysis using professionally-sourced market data from Intrinio on our platform after market close for the date purchased. We write the management report sharing the results and our observations once the 'run' is completed.
We guarantee that we will email your report before the next market open or your analysis is free.
