RELATIVE STRENGTH
A momentum investing technique that compares the performance of a stock, exchange-traded fund or mutual fund to that of the overall market. Relative strength calculates which investments are the strongest performers, compared to the overall market, and recommends those investments for purchase. Relative strength is a "buy high, sell higher" strategy that assumes a stock whose price has been rising will continue its upward trajectory.
