The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Is identifying an industry sector which will outperform the market

Although the phrase "will outperform the market" is problematic, there are a couple of easy to use tools available free at Stockcharts to identify regions, sectors or sub-sectors/industries that are trending stronger than "the market" and for the short term (next 3-5 weeks) more likely than not to outperform the market, due to standard momentum & trend.

One is the sectors list, and using the simple SCTR number (Stockcharts Technical Rank) as a sort.

Another is the Relative Rotation Graph, which is a great visualization of change in relative strength among whatever several symbols you choose - takes a bit of training to understand what it's showing but no big deal.
