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

We may have entered a great period of profit destroying innovation where the benefits accrue more and more to the customers and not the providers.

For instance, for almost every SaaS company that charges for features there are now new companies being built that give the features away with the goal of charging for some activity in the network that they are looking to build.
