The short squeeze predictor nobody is using — Asquith-Pathak-Ritter 2005 applied

Why "high short interest" alone misses the setup, what the 2005 paper actually says, and how the three-factor confluence (short ratio + momentum + options flow) avoids the usual false positives.

The Sloan accruals signal — why cash-flow quality leads reported earnings

Sloan 1996 is the most important accounting anomaly in the quant canon. Here's what it actually measures, why it still works 30 years later, and how DeepVane integrates it into both factor scoring and pattern detection.

Why multi-factor scoring beats consensus analyst ratings

The research on analyst rating performance is damning. Multi-factor systematic scoring outperforms on out-of-sample metrics every time the comparison is made honestly. Why — and what that means for using either.

Regime-conditional factor investing — why one factor recipe never works in every market

Momentum works in risk-on, quality wins in risk-off, and value needs both to behave. Which factors to weight when isn't optional — it's the difference between consistent alpha and getting whipsawed.
