Dr. DiLiddo, the founder of VectorVest, invented the use of a 40-day MA of the VectorVest Relative Timing (RT) indicator as a strong measure of a stock’s momentum. The RT40 is mathematically massaged on a scale between 0.00 and 2.00 akin to all other metrics on VectorVest. Above 1.00, momentum is rising. A crossover of the 5-day RT and the RT40 is used as a faster measure of momentum rising. The entire technique has been researched and developed by Mr. Stan Heller and was presented in detail at the Tampa Two-Day Investment seminar in January 2023.

Moreover, GE’s renewable energy business sector has fallen short of expectations due to regulatory uncertainty.
But, as news continues to flow in about the company’s HealthCare spinoff, are the tide ..read more
