  • A Simple Momentum System for Beating the Market
    as far as i can tell there is sector and asset class rotation ata speed and with a power like never before. Imho this is precisely the to be expected effect of myriads of dumb quant funds chasing more or less the same momentum strategies. Since they follow price, not value they tend to actually hunt their own echos if they exercise a sufficiently large influence over the market. it seems to me, that this stage has arrived. so they rotate out of oil and oil stocks and out of solar into biotech and financials - producing a rapid price deline of the former and a rapid price jump for the latter. If both trends have gone far enough they will move on to the next sectors and assets. In the process, a growing market weight of that will tend to ever more shorten these cycles until they occur on weekly rather than multi-month cycles. Finally the speed at which the portfolios can be turned over will act as a natural border. When all is said and done though, longterm stock prices will rise nor faster or slower than without these momentum folks. But there will be a heck of volatility around the mean.
    What's my take? I gladly look out for value opportunities created by the brainless stampede of the momentum herd. They can chase the pennies (dwindling excess returns versus broad indexes of 2-3 percent per annum) while i will look to make the bucks (5-10%) outperformance on average.
