KUALA LUMPUR (Sep 25): theedgemarkets.com highlighted four stocks at Bursa Malaysia’s afternoon close today. One stock displayed positive momentum while the other three showed negative momentum.

Stock with positive momentum was:

Inta Bina Group Bhd - down three sen at 36.5 sen

Stocks with negative momentum were:

Advance Synergy Bhd - up two sen at 19 sen

MTAG Group Bhd - up one sen at 76 sen

Wong Engineering Corp Bhd - up seven sen at 78.5 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.
