Here's Why Teradata (TDC) is a Strong Momentum Stock

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.

Different than value or growth investors, momentum-oriented investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
