Relative strength has historically required processing large amounts of data to determine which stocks to buy and which to avoid. That means individuals must either pay for expensive subscription services to access the indicator or ignore the tool used by many investment professionals. A little-noticed academic paper explains what causes relative strength and offers a key insight that allows for a formula that makes this strategy accessible to anyone with a spreadsheet. The formula, trading examples, and back-tested results will be shared in Michael Carrs presentation.

Smarter Investing in Any Economy: The Definitive Guide to Relative Strength Investing

This book is about letting the little guy do what the big guy has always done. Hedge funds, pension funds, and other institutions have always used relative strength investing to rack up big returns, yet the methodology has never been presented to the individual investor as a viable, easy-to-understand investment strategy, as it is in this book.
