Quote of the Day
"Momentum is without question one of the most robust investing factors. It is hard to argue with the long-term data that supports its effectiveness. But if you are going to follow a momentum strategy, it is important to become comfortable with the fact that the types of stocks you will get will vary significantly over time."
