Thanks, jans.

I think this is the one you're refering to. I'm also adding =
another one=20
on the u/d ratio that was helpful to me:
The up/down ratio in 12/31/01 Smart Investor:=20
It's easy enough to see why there is more buying than selling as a =
stock=20
shoots higher. But even before a stock begins a steep climb, the =
buying=20
usually outweighs the selling. Many times, companies go into =
consolidation=20
periods, in which their stock prices typically decline anywhere from =
5% to=20
50%. During these basing phases, strong stocks may fight their way =
back and=20
try to reach new highs. If demand for the stock is plentiful, you'll =
see it=20
reflected in an up/down ratio of 1.0 or higher. Some of the past =
decade's=20
best stocks, such as Jabil Circuit, Anchor Gaming and Gadzooks, had =
up/down=20
ratios of 1.0 or better in the weeks leading up to their big moves. =
Take=20
Caci International Inc. (CACI ) The computer services firm bolted out =
of its=20
base Sept. 17, surging 9 points on strong volume. The up/down ratio =
that week=20
was 1.9. Even in the several weeks prior, as the stock remained in its =
base,=20
the up/down ratio was 1.0 or higher [So look for up/down >1.0 as the =
C&H=20
bases]. The ratio - also a key element of the Stock Checkup's =
Attractiveness=20
Rating - is a cousin of IBD's Accumulation/Distribution Rating. The =
Acc/Dist=20
Rating, however, is less prone to volume distortions, and you should =
use it=20
as your primary indicator. Days in which the volume is abnormally huge =
can=20
distort the up/down ratio. How do you tell if the balance is on the =
side of=20
buying? The up/down volume ratio is a good indicator. It is found in =
the IBD=20
Stock Checkup, a feature at Investor's Business Daily's Web site,=20
investors.com.=20
The Smart Investor, Monday, November 19, 2001, Using IBD's =
Attractiveness=20
Rating-- The Attractiveness Rating - found exclusively in the IBD =
Stock=20
Checkup at investors.com - is the most timely rating an investor can =
use to=20
gauge a stock=E2=80=99s action. This rating [it] analyzes a =
stock=E2=80=99s price and=20
volume, taking into account its recent trends as well as its weekly up =
vs.=20
down volume. In short, it looks for significant buying or selling =
activity=20
right here, right now. In addition, the rating compares a =
stock=E2=80=99s price=20
performance with its industry group, and compares the group=E2=80=99s =
overall=20
performance with the Standard & Poor=E2=80=99s 500 index. The rating =
also analyzes=20
the stock=E2=80=99s tendency to appreciate or depreciate vs. the =
general market -=20
what=E2=80=99s called its alpha [So, in sum, Attractiveness Rating =
takes into acct:=20
u/d volume; price performance w/ its industry group; overall =
performance w/=20
the S&P; alpha (its one day fluctuation compared to a flat S&P)]. =
Once you=20
mix all those factors, you get a rating that is the most up-to-date=20
reflection of the stock=E2=80=99s health. The rating - expressed on a =
scale of 1 to=20
99, with 99 representing the most attractive stocks - moves depending =
on how=20
positive or negative the stock is acting. For example, if a =
stock=E2=80=99s price=20
base starts falling apart on heavy volume, it will be reflected in the =
rating. (Not all parts of the rating are weighted equally.) The=20
Attractiveness Rating can uncover a change in a stock=E2=80=99s pulse =
more quickly=20
than, for example, IBD=E2=80=99s Relative Strength Price Rating. The =
RS Rating looks=20
at the price activity over the past 12 months. IBD SmartSelect =
Corporate=20
Ratings, in fact, cover longer time frames to bear out quality =
companies with=20
proven track records. So, while the SmartSelect Ratings give a =
comprehensive=20
view of a stock, the Attractiveness Rating focuses on the most recent=20
activity.
