It's all about tails on this edition of StockCharts TV's Sector Spotlight. After a short look at last week's rotations for asset classes and sectors, I dive into the meaning of the tails on the Relative Rotation Graphs. What do they represent? How to use the tail length setting? Why are some tails thicker than others? What's the meaning of long vs short tails on the RRG? Finally, what does the direction, the RRG-Heading, tell you? If you always wanted to know more about the meaning of tails on RRG and the "story" they can tell you, then you need to watch this "tale of the tails."
