The forecasts are uniquely derived daily from the self-protective actions of market-makers in big blocks of stocks as they anticipate the actions of their clients -- major funds and large institutions.

This continuously updated market intelligence reveals their forward-looking appraisals of downside price ...More exposures and (often asymmetrically) higher price prospects. Actuarial tables of this data provide the foundation for its services to its own funds management, other Investment Managers, and for its investment newsletters published through Forbes.com.
