Two groups that have been strong recently are the restaurants and REITs. The restaurants are up about 5.7% in the last month and the weekly chart shows a well-established uptrend. The RS (Relative Performance) analysis turned positive early in 2010 and recently surged higher again. The REITs completed a head-and-shoulders bottom a year ago and broke out to the upside in March. They are up over 5% in the past month, having just broken out to the upside while showing positive RS.
