spyvseem zps934754d0 RS Chart of The Day

Point and Figure RS Charts are calculated by dividing one security by another and plotting the ratio on a PnF chart. When the ratio is rising, it is plotted in a column of X’s and reflects the numerator outperforming the denominator. Likewise, when the relative strength ratio is declining, it is plotted in a column of O’s and reflects the outperformance of the denominator.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Potential for profits is accompanied by possibility of loss. This example is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not represent a past recommendation. The relative strength strategy is NOT a guarantee. There may be times where all investments and strategies are unfavorable and depreciate in value.

The second stock market “triple” (2009-2014) sucked in almost none of the public, while the preeminent mutual fund superstar of the era would turn out to be an expert on another asset class who was forced to slink out the door to avoid dismissal from the firm he founded.
