KUALA LUMPUR (March 25): theedgemarkets.com highlighted five stocks with momentum at Bursa Malaysia’s afternoon close today. Two stocks had positive momentum, while three stocks 

had negative momentum.

 

The stocks with positive momentum were:

 

Talam Transform Bhd - up 0.5 sen to 4.5 sen

 

Master-pack Group Bhd - rose 6.5 sen to 85 sen 

 

The stocks with negative momentum were:

 

Straits Inter Logistics Bhd - climbed 0.5 sen to 27.5 sen

 

Mudajaya Group Bhd - surged 1.5 sen to 35.5 sen 

 

Sig Gases Bhd - up 5.5 sen to 95.5 sen 

 

The list of stocks with momentum is generated using a proprietary mathematical algorithm highlighting stocks with a build-up in trading volume and price. The algorithm differentiates between stocks that exhibit positive (+ve) momentum and negative (-ve) momentum.

 

This list is not a buy or sell recommendation. It merely tells you which stocks are seeing higher than normal volume and price movements. The share price may move up or down from this point. But the “+ve” (suggesting a rising price trend on volume) and “-ve” (suggesting a falling price trend on volume) indicators should give readers a better idea of what the market is buying and when to sell. Note also that momentum generally only persists for a short period of time.

 

However, each stock has an accompanying fundamental score and valuation score to help readers evaluate the attractiveness of the stocks, if they want to ride the momentum.
