Century Pacific Investments

Century Pacific Investments is a Registered Investment Advisor in the state of California that automates equities and options trading across multiple domestic and foreign markets 24 hours a day. Century Pacific has licensed rights to 2 unique technologies that we believe to be exciting proprietary trading advantages that we can offer to our clients. The first, Global Automated Trading Systems ("GATS"), provides our clients with state-of-the-art algorithmic trading tools that Wall Street institutions and high networth individuals can utilize to automate trading 24 hours a day in more than 10 markets around the world. The second is Buyins.net's exclusive database of every short trade in every stock in the US markets and gives Century Pacific's clients access to key trade timing technology that precisely pinpoints stock prices and volume amounts where short sellers go out-of-the-money and may begin covering their short positions. The database also tracks forced covers due to Regulation SHO.

Century Pacific Investments has licensed a database containing over 1 billion trades showing the price and volume of every short sale in every security in the United States. Every month the database grows by approximately 50 million trades and exposes the exact price and number of shares that short sellers have shorted each stock. The database also shows whether or not the stock is on the SEC mandated Threshold Lists and how many days before brokers may be forcing their naked short clients to cover their short positions.

Why is this data so valuable? We know the exact price points where shorts start losing money on each of their short positions. Short sellers are at times more likely to cover their short positions when the trade is going against them. Secondly, if the stock is naked short and has been on a Threshold List for 13 straight trading days, brokers are mandated by the SEC to force their naked short clients to cover their positions. This can cause upside volatility in a stock and Century Pacific is there to take advantage of the trade.

Each day Century Pacific runs proprietary trading screens that show stocks with the largest total short interest, highest % of float short, current price closest to or above the price point where a considerable number of shares have been shorted, and how many days the stock has been on a naked short Threshold List. The resulting trades are fed into the Global Automated Trading System and the trade is timed using a combination of over 800 technical indicators. The trades are processed automatically and proprietary buy/sell indicators determine the entry and exit of each trade.

Clients can opt to have their accounts segregated or combined into a fund to reduce transactional costs. Trading with an edge is what successful investing is all about. The celebrated market pundit, James Cramer, has identified the short interest strategy as one of his key methodologies for locating super profitable trades. Century Pacific has taken it one step further by accessing data that shows exactly when and where shorts are most likely to get caught in a losing trade and cover.
