High-Octane Investing
Several years ago (back when the Fool was only on AOL), I wrote a column called "Relatively Speaking." The idea was to dig through Investor's Business Daily and discuss stocks with the highest relative strength (RS) ratings.
For those of you unfamiliar with RS, it's simply a numeric measurement of how well a stock is performing relative to all other stocks out there. The idea here is that investors should want to buy stocks that are performing better than all others. That makes sense, right? The trick is figuring out not only which stocks are currently performing the best, but also those that are moving up in the pack.
