  • This brings up the R:R Chart format, but instead of the numbers in the ball-field being individual stocks, they are averages of groups of stocks -- 50 different Industry groups: Papers, Oils, Semiconductors, Foreign Telephones, etc. It often makes sense to find promising stocks in a promising group, for the sake of reinforcement.

  • Just as you can click on the "Show me a Block Trader Forecast Chart" button under a R:R Chart and have it cycle through all the choices in the combo box (to the right of the button), you can do the same thing with the industry group R:R charts. This makes overall surveys quick and easy, and often identifies attractive stocks in groups that themselves are not standouts.
  • The upside-to-downside proportions are the most important guide to purchases, but in cases of roughly equal opportunity, the stock's profitability index offers help setting preferences.  This index is plotted at the bottom center of each Block Trader Forecast Chart as a horizontal bar ranging from 0 to 100. The value of the index indicates that percent of all covered stocks that this stock has outperformed, using the Simple Strategy.

Financing the purchase of new stocks often requires selling stocks you now own. To evaluate which ones may be appropriate, click on   to go to the Product Menu, and evaluate your portfolio.
