When I put on my “momentum trading hat,” I like to buy sectors and/or stocks the Street likes. That’s particularly true of those names that have climbed despite declines in the stock market.Īdditionally, equities that have advanced significantly on above-average trading volumes and those that have surpassed their key moving averages are likely to continue climbing.Īlthough I’m not a big fan of charts, I do consider equities that have shown an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern or have had one recently and kept rising as good stocks to buy. Consequently, I know a few methods of determining which stocks to buy that are on the cusp of major moves higher in the short-and-medium terms.Īn important rule for momentum investors is pretty obvious: Stocks that have gone up recently are, all else being equal, likely to continue doing so for a while longer. Once in a while, however, I do like to purchase equities as they’re rising.
