Price momentum

Momentum is the velocity or speed of price changes in a security, stock, or tradable instrument. Momentum investing works on the notion that if a stock or security’s price rises, it will continue to rise in the intermediate terms. When that momentum stops – either the price has started declining or plateaued – it is time to sell.

Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.

Got it!
