There's a higher proportion of Weakest vs. Strongest stocks in the Consumer Non-Durables industry as compared to the other recently-reviewed industries.

Or might an attractive oversold "pop" be in Tredegar's future as buyers look for left-behind bargains in the strengthening sub-industry? (#notaprediction)
