2B. Sub-Industries 10-Week Strengthening Analysis
What: recent week-by-week strength changes for the industry and each underlying sub-industry
Why: objective measurement of strengthening and weakening enabling comparison within and across industries and sub-industries

2C. Stocks 1 Week Strongest and Weakest
What: stocks currently rated Strongest/Weakest (highest/lowest of 9 strength ratings)
Why: most interesting stocks for available capital because
- the Strongest have the least amount of overhead supply to dampen breakouts while
- the Weakest may be prone to volatility, subject to big pops from bottom-fishing and short-covering BUT ALSO to bigger and faster falls.
(Not guaranteed and not a recommendation - weak stocks in weakening sub-industries may be better shorts than high-flyers.)
