Major Trend
Relative Strength Rankings
Of Liquid Exchange Traded Funds by Robert Colby
Based on a new, updated version of the Screening Method for Analysis of Relative Strength, I ranked the more actively traded ETFs (exchange traded funds) as of the posting date, above. For details on this method, see my book, pages 604-609.
Research studies show that ETFs ranked in the top fifth of the list (with a rank of 80 or higher) have a greater probability of outperforming the market in the months ahead. Conversely, ETFs ranked in the lower half, below 50, have a greater probability of underperforming the market in the months ahead.
