Relative Strength of Stocks vs Bonds

The chart below shows the relative strength of stocks versus long-term US Treasuries over the last year.  When the line is rising, it indicates that stocks are outperfoming Treasuries and vice versa.  While equities have outperformed Treasuries over the last year, the peak point of relative strength actually came back in early February.  Since then the relative strength chart has been making a series of lower highs and is showing signs of rolling over.  It is often said that the equity market tends to discount events six months out into the future, and if that is the case, then the equity market began to start pricing in the end of QE2 right on schedule.

Hi

Its been a while since the last post. SORRY! It was caused by the disruption of a new bathroom and a ton of new video / computer equipment that I still have to get my head around

I am away for a few days to look at Arrrh! another house towards the top of the South Island (A wee bit warmer up there) and then when I get back I will be cracking on with some more video training.

Here is a video that looks at making sure your trading decision has a good foundation. Have a great day
