good charts .. BUT . . . no need to label them Offensive/Defensive. The ones going Up versus SPY are good ones to be in as they are probably in an Up-trend. I use this same technique and am in the high-yielding utility PPL based on my analysis. Knowing that this sector (Utilities) is out-performing the overall Market is a great way to filter out good stocks. Usually, good stocks can be found in a good sector. Put another way, the stocks within a good sector are usually good. ( do your own individual analysis on the stocks within a good sector )
