When building your watch list, focus on stocks with an 80 or higher RS Rating. Ameriprise Financial is one stock that just reached the mark, now earning a score of 81.
IBD's unique RS Rating tracks market leadership by using a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score that shows how a stock's price performance over the trailing 52 weeks matches up against that of all other stocks.
Decades of market research reveals that the best stocks often have an RS Rating north of 80 in the early stages of their moves.
