Steven--I just talked to the education department of IBD, available to all subscribers,at 310-448-6150. I posed your question to them as you did -- 1. Stock (A) starts at 10, drops to 8 1/2 and then back to 10 1/2. and 2. Stock (B) starts at 10 and goes to 10 3/4. Which has the higher RS and why? The answer is that Stock A likely has if the 2 point rise came in the last 4 months, since the IBD definition of RS is the following: A measure of price performance of all stocks compared to each other over a 1 year period with a 40% weighting given to the last quarter. However, If all of Stock A's activity took place 5 months ago and Stock B moved from 10 to 10 3/4 last week,---well you figure it out. The math just got too much to do in my head. Anyways, I hope you get the drift. Myron
