Lesson 1: 

This lesson is designed to teach you how to reduce the volatility in your portfolio and focus on smoothed returns curve over time that comfortably outperforms the market by focusing on mitigating market risk, sector risk, industry risk, and balance sheet risk. 

Lesson 2:

Understanding the volatility profile of the assets that we are trading gives insight into better asset allocation to optimize the returns of your portfolio of assets over time. In this example, we use linear regression analysis to understand the volatility of each sector within the S&P 500 versus the index itself and look at what assets outperform in specific market conditions. 

Lesson 3:

This is a step by step guide to learn how to calculate "Beta" (linear regression analysis) for any asset over any time horizon.

Lesson 4:

This lesson is a pragmatic approach for asset selection for your portfolio. We identify two assets as a long short hedged strategy to mitigate market risk, sector risk, industry risk & balance sheet risk. We then briefly analyze the charts to further increase the probability of making a reasonable return on a low-risk trade. 

Lesson 5

An amalgamation of the above 4 lessons, here we will execute & track our trades performance in our excel spreadsheet. Measuring the different types of risks outlined in the MERC Method course.
