RE: RelativeStrength

Relative strength charts are easy.  In downloader, open a new file for the
S&P 500 and enter the data.  If you want the relative strength of, say, IBM,
open a new folder again, and this time select composite rather than security.
 It will ask you for two securities, so enter IBM as the first and S&P 500
for the other.  Select "divide" as the math operator.  That's all.  You will
now have a composite folder showing IBM relative to the S&P 500.  You can
then drag-and-drop the composite chart to your IBM folder to see them both at
once.

Of course, you could select anything else besides the S&P500 to compare
against, such as the DOW or a sector index, or even another security.

This is described in the downloader manual on pages 36-38.
