| Institute for Systematic Investing Research (ISIR)
is an independent institutional investment research
and advisory firm established in 1996 as a
non-profit organization. ISIR's
unique research is based on two fundamental breakthroughs
discovered and developed by ISIR financial
engineers and scientists during 1990's:
(1) Generalized Normal Distributions (Q-Distributions)
for realistic and practical Monte-Carlo
Simulations; and
(2) Human Emotion Statistics (market
psychological indicators) for understanding,
identifying, and predicting primary stock
market trends.
The ultimate goal of ISIR's research is to
assist financial institutions making
investment decisions systematically, not
emotionally, thus achieving better long term
investment results consistently. ISIR is the
first firm that has
devoted itself entirely to systematic
investing research and applications.
By using statistical data processing techniques,
ISIR's research aims to discover investments'
inherent risks and return characteristics.
ISIR's research proves that systematic investing
will help more financial institutions
in better understanding future investment
risks and performance predictability, and more
importantly, gaining competitive edge through
introducing innovative and better products.
ISIR's research provides charts and studies
covering domestic and international stocks as
well as market indexes. Clients are able to
request research-on-demand services to access
customized indicators, quantitative models,
market and sector studies, and much more. Our
most often requested service is buy/sell
validation using ISIR's proprietary Huemo
diagnostic system. We have data readily available
for analyzing over 10,000 domestic and
international securities with trend analysis
back tested as early as 1980's.

A stock's daily price movement is primarily
driven by human emotion. After all market information is known,
the fundamental of a company does not change even when its stock price is
fluctuating. However, over a
longer time period, a company's fundamental does change. Again, human
emotion is driving the stock price trend up or down. By properly
capturing and measuring variations in crowd emotion, primary trend reversals can often be identified in its
initial stage.
