Stock GuideSpring 2015

2015 is off to a positive start so far. As of March 23, 2015, the NASDAQ is up 6%. Although, there have been several distribution days recently, the NASDAQ just reached a new high and leading stocks are acting well. When leading stocks fall, they are finding support at their 50-day moving averages, a key long-term support level.

With the market at new highs in a confirmed uptrend, we will focus on the subtleties of relative strength. Marked improvements in relative strength, especially during periods of market weakness, can help identify market leadership. In contrast, if relative strength significantly deteriorates during a healthy uptrend, then it can trigger a sell rule before the stock price falls too far, allowing you to maintain profits.

The screens in this spring Stock Guide will identify stocks that are showing significant increases in relative strength, a key component of stock selection and stock price appreciation.

Best returns,

Relative price strength is a crucial part of stock selection. It helps identify the leading stocks in the market; those that are outperforming the general market and the rest of the stocks in the database. MarketSmith offers two perspectives of relative strength to assist you in your stock research: our proprietary RS Rating and the RS Line.

RS RatingThe RS Rating is a rating that measures a stock’s price performance over the last 12 months (with the most recent three months weighted more heavily), relative to the performance of all stocks in the database. Example: A RS Rating of 99 (the highest possible rating) is outperforming 99% of the other stocks in the database over the last 12 months.

Leaders vs. LaggardsOur studies of the greatest winning stocks since 1952 showed an average RS rating of 87 when they broke out of their first price consolidation areas. The greatest stocks were already outperforming nearly 90% of all other stocks in the market before they made their biggest price gains. With so many stocks in the market universe, relative strength plays an important role within stock selection.

David Ryan, a three-time US Investing Champion and former O’Neil associate, states in Market Wizards by Jack Schwager, “The relative strength is very important… [It should be] at least above 80, and preferably above 90…I would rather go with a relative strength of 99 than 95…many times the relative strength takes off before that big earnings report comes out.”

How to Use RS

MarketSmith Education Tips

Spring 2015 marketsmith.com


RS LineThe RS Line compares a stock’s price performance versus the S&P 500. If the RS Line is upward sloping, then the stock is outperforming the general market. If the RS Line is downward sloping, then the stock is underperforming the general market. Generally, a RS Line that is trending upward over several months is a positive sign, while a downward trending line would be a negative indication. The RS Line can be used in a diverse number of ways: leadership selection, breakout confirmation, angle of ascent, and key divergences.

Leadership VerificationThe RS Line is especially useful in finding new leaders during a market correction. During a market correction, the growth stocks that decline the least are the most desirable and are usually the best selections. Once the general market decline is over, the first stocks that bounce back to new highs are almost always your real leaders. The RS Line can help provide verification of a stock’s strength. When a stock’s RS Line is reaching new highs well before the stock price does, then that is a very bullish sign.

MarketSmith Education Tips6


7MarketSmith Education Tips

Breakout ConfirmationWhen the stock breaks out of its base, the RS Line should be reaching a new high as well. This type of action confirms the strength of the breakout and should give you confidence that the stock is performing as expected.

Angle of AscentImagine a clock face. The clock hand at 3 o’clock is a flat, horizontal RS Line. The flat line indicates that the stock is performing equally to the market. Any number between 12 and 3 indicates outperformance. Your ideal leading stocks will have RS Lines that trend upward between 1 and 2. The steeper the RS line, the more the stock is outperforming the general market.


MarketSmith Education Tips8

Key DivergencesKey divergences are the main part of relative strength, especially with abnormal strength on a weak market day. If the general market is down 2% on the day, but your stock is up 1%, then it is clearly diverging from expectations. Another sign of divergence is when an upside reversal day occurs. The stock is down significantly early in the day, but closes substantially off of the lows. Remember: most stocks will follow the general trend of the market, which is why market direction analysis is emphasized (the M in CAN SLIM). On this day, you should see the RS line spike upward, indicating outperformance. When the market begins to recover, the downward pressure is no longer evident and these stocks should lead the way higher.

RS Line New High

Key divergences are a crucial part of relative strength, especially with abnormal strength on a weak market day.

This screen identifies stocks whose RS Lines are reaching

new highs over the last 52 weeks and is designed to be run

on a big down day in the general market. Stocks that are

bucking the downward pressure may be primed to move

significantly higher once the market pressure alleviates.

Strongest Relative Strength

Discover the best stocks currently outperforming the rest of the market.

During periods of market weakness, stocks maintaining

high RS ratings may be correcting less and positioning for a

substantial price run once the market environment improves.

Look for recognizable chart patterns. When the market is in

an uptrend, stocks with strong RS ratings should move up

faster than lower-ranked stocks.

RS Line Leading Price

The RS Line compares a stock’s price performance versus the S&P 500 index.

A RS Line that is trending upwards over several months is

a positive sign. This screen locates stocks whose RS Lines

are reaching new highs before the stock price. This is a very

bullish sign, especially if it occurs while the stock is building

a base.
