What We Do
Code Yellow Research (CYR) is dedicated to the idea that successful investing depends on timing. We therefore concentrate on understanding the cyclicality of the market and those forces that influence it. Once understood, market rhythms become a positive element in investing rather than a matter of chance. Predictability is enhanced with the result being greater profitability.
Our most basic belief, which we have tested over more than four decades and found true, is that rhythmic patterns of the market are not random. They are shaped by natural forces and have their roots in natural law. There is nothing mystical about them. They are susceptible to mathematical analysis and discoverable by those who study them.
We are a great believer in the slogan:
The “proof of the pudding is in the tasting!”
CYR is the latest venture founded by Mason Sexton who has spent his entire career on Wall Street. After graduating from the Harvard Business School in 1972, Mason spent the early years working in corporate finance and M&A at Morgan Stanley and Solomon Brothers before moving to the “sell side” at such leading firms as Mitchell Hutchins (acquired by Paine Webber and then UBS) and Warburg Paribas Becker. In 1984 he formed Harmonic Research—a market timing service that covered the stock and bond markets as well as individual large cap stocks.
He received world wide attention for his uncanny prediction of the 1987 stock market crash and was frequently a top “timer” in Timer’s Digest magazine.
In 2003 he merged Harmonic into investment bank, Jessup and Lamont, which was subsequently acquired by a public entity. Since then he has consulted to several large multi-strat hedge funds, mutual funds, and investment advisors constantly working to improve his technique while upgrading software and systems.
