One important metric to look for in a stock is an 80 or higher Relative Strength Rating. Curtiss-Wright now clears that threshold, with a jump from 78 to 81 Thursday.
IBD's proprietary RS Rating tracks technical performance by showing how a stock's price action over the last 52 weeks compares to that of other stocks on the major indexes.
History shows that the stocks that go on to make the biggest gains tend to have an 80 or better RS Rating in the early stages of their moves.
