momentum investing
Momentum investing is the act of pursuing the market momentum, betting that what has risen will rise further, chasing the crowd psychology known as trends. It resembles jumping onto a speeding train only to likely be thrown off at the next station. The more investors chase winners, the more they discover that the peak has already passed. The cycle of hope and despair creates a market roller coaster, spiking heart rates and triggering adrenaline junkies. The technique promises smooth rides but often delivers dizzying drops.
