When I look at cash flow, fundamentals, technicals, many …. most stocks do not look all that attractive. The news talks them up, but most on their balance and income statements…..their real income levels do not look all that great!? And yet, many of these share prices continue to rise …in the commodities and energy sectors and a few tech stocks?

Where is their momentum coming from ? Is there a momentum measuring stick or some indicators or signs of expectations that I should be looking at, or do you see the same thing…..a flat to declining market that is desparately looking for places to most safely park devaluing currencies?

Is it possible to momentum trade small cap stocks? I heard that it’s possible to momentum trade ANY type of stock, but I want to start trading small caps (I know the risks involved, I already trade futures and currencies) and would like to know if it’s possible to momentum trade small caps. Thanks for any help.

Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU’s ‘Mr Euro’, has given the clearest warning to date that the world authorities may take action to halt the collapse of the dollar and undercut commodity speculation by hedge funds.

Momentum traders have blithely ignored last week’s accord by the G7 powers, which described "sharp fluctuations in major currencies" as a threat to economic and financial stability.

The euro has surged to fresh records this week, touching .5982 against the dollar and £0.8098 against sterling yesterday.
