The theory is to buy stocks that are on the move upward, and the belief and hope is that they will continue that momentum long enough to make a profit. In this case fundamentals are not a factor. All that matters is that the price goes higher and that they can go along for the ride. It's about timing and emotion.

In these cases, these investors often employ technical analysis to forecast whether a stock will continue to rise or not. Technical analysis is a way of using charts to attempt to predict the movement of stocks based on not just price, volume and open interest, but also market psychology.

In this style of investing timing is everything. Earning money from momentum stocks can only occur if you buy and sell at the right time. What are the key factors?

One is the timing of entering a trade. It's important to set specific entry points to catch the momentum once it has begun.

Think about setting an entry point above the stock's recent high price and/or below its recent low price.

This can help you catch significant momentum.

If you set an entry above a stock's most recent high, you'll enter the trade when the momentum is already going in right direction if you want to go long.

And if there is initial downward momentum, your trade won't "trigger," preserving your capital.

It also helps to minimize your risk by pre-designating a price at which you'll get out.

Remember, a small loss is better than a big loss.
