Thank you for the response.

So the chart attached above is showing how each sector did in relation to the price of the S&P on 1/1/07?

The article seemed to indicate that crossing the 0 line showed outperformance of the S&P and I just assumed it was year to date, (i.e. a change in a sectors price was in relation to the change in the S&P day over day). In that scenario, if the index rose 1% and one of the SPDRs rose 1% over the same period it would register as a 0%.

IRT will allow for the plotting of multiple instruments on the same scale as a percentage change so I may be able to do this with that combo. It almost seems that this would be easier to do in excel.
