MOMENTUM

We run our proprietary momentum scoring algorithm on indices just like we do on stocks. You can use the momentum scores of sub-indices to get a sense for which sectors have the wind on their backs and those that are facing headwinds.

Traders can pick their longs in sectors with high short-term momentum and their shorts in sectors with low momentum. Investors can use the longer lookback scores to position themselves using our re-factored index Themes.

You can see how the momentum algorithm has performed on individual stocks here.

Here are the best and the worst sub-indices:

Thought for the weekend

Technology is on track to permanently replace a great deal of human work. No job is truly safe. Cultural destruction goes hand-in-hand with job destruction. The expectation that work will be a central feature of adult life is going to dissipate for a significant portion of society.

However, while we wait for this future, a small but growing number of workers are instead petitioning the boss to combine work and vacation: time away from the office that includes a few days working from an exotic locale.
