TPA-RRG Report
What is hot and what is not -TPA-RRG captures the inevitable movement of stocks into and out of favor.
Scores and ranking - Clients can quickly see which stocks are showing the best and worst relative strength characteristics. TPA found that using RRG’s was very beneficial, but cumbersome, so we simplified the process by creating a score for each stock and sector.
The best of both worlds – RRG & TPA
Now, clients can use TPA-RRG scores and rankings to identify stocks that are not only moving into favor, but are also technically positive.

Sectors:
The top sectors in terms of relative strength and momentum seem to be associated with Russia-Ukraine
· Aerospace-Defense stocks have the best score. Of course, these stocks would benefit from conflict.
· Materials stocks are driven by shortages and commodity prices. These are exacerbated by Russia and Covid.
· Healthcare stocks stay strong because of Covid
· Energy has weakened even as Crude rallies. Watch out for these stocks if the conflict is resolved and Crude falls.
· Some TECH-related ETFs are weak, but improving as they became very oversold: SOCL, XLC, TAN, IGV have all moved toward the Improving quadrant. HACK (Cyber security was oversold, but also moved higher with the threat of Cyber attacks)
Top 20 & Bottom 20:
Financial stocks dominate the TOP 20, while TECH and Discretionary stocks are prevalent in the Bottom 20. The stocks that are in the TOP and Bottom 20 deserve to be there. Top stocks have good relative strength and momentum and are technically strong, while Bottom stocks have weak relative strength and momentum and are technically vulnerable.
Focus:
Clients should be wary of reversals that could come with the lessening of conflict as many sectors became very oversold or very overbought.

What are RRG’s?
Julius de Kempenaer developed Relative Rotational Graphs (RRG) in 2004 and thousands of investors use RRG’s. “Relative Rotation Graphs, commonly referred to as RRGs, are a unique visualization tool for relative strength analysis. Chartists can use RRGs to analyze the relative strength trends of several securities against a common benchmark, and against each other. The real power of this tool is its ability to plot relative performance on one graph and show true rotation. We have all heard of sector and asset class rotation, but it is hard to visualize this “rotation” sequence on linear charts. RRGs use four quadrants to define the four phases of a relative trend. True rotations can be seen as securities move from one quadrant to the other over time.” - Stockcharts
What are TPA-RRG scores?
TPA recognizes the power of RRG’s to highlight stocks and sectors moving in and out of favor, but also notes the shortcoming of having to examine many RRG’s to decide where to invest. TPA has developed TPA-RRG Scores to be able to rank stocks and sectors in terms of relative strength. TPA-RRG scores are constructed to focus on stocks and sectors as they move from negative to positive and positive to negative. Scoring also allows ranking so investors can focus on the best and worst areas of the market.
