Decision Point's proprietary Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) plays a central role among the analysis tools on the Decision Point web site. It is used as:

(1) A device by which we can perform relative strength ranking of various stocks, mutual funds, and indexes; and

(2) A momentum indicator for analyzing price movement, internal strength, and making buy and sell decisions.

This dual function is unique and extremely useful because, while viewing it in its role as a traditional analysis tool to analyze a single price index, we also get a sense of the probable performance of the index within the context of relative strength rotation. To help you fully understand and utilize the PMO we have prepared a series of articles explaining how to use and interpret it.
