When looking for the best stocks to buy and watch, one factor to watch closely is relative price strength.
IBD's proprietary RS Rating measures market leadership by using a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score that shows how a stock's price action over the last 52 weeks matches up against that of all other stocks.
History reveals that the stocks that go on to make the biggest gains often have an 80 or better RS Rating as they begin their biggest runs.
