In this week's edition of Chartwise Women, Erin and Mary Ellen show how you can find the best performers in the market using Relative Strength and the StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR). Erin educates us on what "price relative" is and how to include it on your charts, visualizing how a stock is performing against its industry and the market overall. Mary Ellen discusses the SCTR and its power to uncover stocks with both relative and internal strength. After demonstrating how to use relative strength analysis, the two share their favorite outperforming stock symbols for your consideration.
