Book Description: In Practical Relative Strength Charting, E.S.C. Coppock?who would later gain recognition for developing the Coppock Curve?lays out a methodical, down-to-earth approach to relative strength analysis that remains relevant for students of market behavior today. Written in a post-war era when retail investors were just beginning to explore technical methods, Coppock makes a compelling case for using trend-based comparisons to improve investment decisions. Through clear prose and practical illustrations, Coppock explains how investors can compare the performance of individual stocks to a composite average?like the Dow-Jones 65-stock index?and use basic arithmetic to track and chart these ratios over time. He emphasizes the importance of consistent methodology, semilogarithmic charting, moving averages (specifically 8-week and 30-week), and pattern recognition. The book doesn't promise quick riches but instead presents a disciplined technique for identifying securities that are outperforming or underperforming the broader market. Along the way, Coppock offers observations on investor psychology, market cycles, and the value of using objective data over emotional intuition. Contents: 1.
