Understanding Momentum Investing:

  • Contrasting Tradition: Strategy aiming to profit from ongoing market trends.
  • Involves buying rising securities and selling at perceived peaks.
  • Trends Recognition: Based on the belief that discernible trends persist, allowing investors to recognize and participate early for significant profits.
