KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 10): theedgemarkets.com highlighted two stocks with momentum at Bursa Malaysia’s afternoon close on Friday (Dec 10). One had positive momentum, while another had negative momentum.

The stock with positive momentum was:

Brem Holding Bhd — unchanged at RM1.15

The stock with negative momentum was:

CRG Incorporated Bhd — down 2.5 sen at 12.5 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.
