Value worked, momentum worked. Smart-beta? Not so smart. Also, this might be the last month that Velocity would be available. It has been superseded by Momentum 200. While Velocity looked at prices to gauge momentum, the new algorithm uses a probabilistic setup.

Thought for the weekend
Organically, value grows bit-by-bit, but often prices move in a more volatile fashion. Try to win by buying stocks that grow value. Winning from speculation is a crapshoot. Avoid it, the odds are against you.
Imagine for a moment that we did not have financial markets. Who would do the best? Those that compounded their economic activities the best — those who were the most productive. The same is true for us today. Focus on companies that are productive, growing organically. That is almost always a good road to profits.
