OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Stephen Suttmeier

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

Stephen Suttmeier reads as The Navigator because he pilots by signal, not noise. As Chief Equity Technical Strategist at BofA Securities, he relies on disciplined quantitative pattern recognition to chart course through market uncertainty rather than reacting to sentiment or fundamentals alone. His warning that oversold can always become more oversold carries a navigator's hard-won respect for prevailing conditions over destination assumptions. He reads the terrain, never the wish.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY NAVIGATOR

We're using mathematics quantitative methods to identify and spot trends and patterns in the financial markets. For me, it's really just trend following and pattern recognition.

DEFINING TECHNICAL ANALYSIS APPROACH

A weakening relative often precedes fundamental information that's less bullish than people expect. I've seen it happen a lot.

RELATIVE VS ABSOLUTE CHART SIGNALS

An oversold stock can always become more oversold, and an undervalued stock can always become more undervalued. When I learned that, things improved a lot.
