By Jack Forehand (@practicalquant)

I like it when things work out the way they should. It’s great when good things happen to people who deserve it. It’s great when the outcome of any situation is the one supported by the facts. It’s also great when logic and reason win out in the end. When I came into the world of investing, I brought that mentality with me.

Episode 25: An In Depth Look at Momentum Investing

Momentum investing is difficult to understand for many investors. While a concept like value that involves trying to buy stocks at a discount to what they are worth resonates with many, the idea of betting that stocks that have already gone up will go up more can be much more difficult to understand. In this episode, we take an in depth look at momentum investing. We discuss why momentum works, the different types of momentum, and some of the drawbacks of a momentum based approach. We also talk about some additional variables that can potentially enhance a momentum approach like fundamental momentum and momentum consistency.
