About Us

We’re a small shop of innovative modelers marrying quantitative finance with software development to produce automated risk dashboards.  Those dashboards produce buy-sell-hold signals for the S&P, Bitcoin ETFs and other symbols.  Our focus is risk assessment and option strategies, not market predictions; avoid drawdowns & earn outsized returns from unimpaired positions.

What We Do

We help you manage investment risk and accelerate returns.  We do it with risk-assessment algorithms and option strategies. Buy and sell signals are provided via automated software covering the S&P and bitcoin; we aim for 20%-plus annual returns with a fraction of the risk of holding unmanaged positions.  Option strategies are also provided when they can enhance returns while simultaneously reducing risk.

Who We Are

Mike Gettings
Founder

I focus on risk assessments. I’ve run a pay service called EZV Algorithms on Seeking Alpha for almost 6 years, and over that time risk signals reduced worst drawdowns by 70%, and by building on the unimpaired positions, substantially accelerated S&P returns.

This is my ‘retirement career’. I ran a quantitative-finance consulting group for about 15 years before deciding on quasi retirement; in that consulting role, working for some of the largest energy users in the USA, we managed risk exposures using swaps and derivatives. My forte has always been the ability to explain difficult concepts in understandable terms, and that put me on the executive risk management committee of various firms. Today, I write for you.

Software Engineer
I'm a software engineer who has created and supported the automatic creation of dashboards for the EZV service over the last 6 years.

I support this service on nights and weekends, and in my day job I've worked to develop in a number of initiatives for some of the largest banks in the US, including Truist, US Bank, and the Federal Reserve.
