Value or Momentum?

 

When the market favors value, buy an ETF on value stocks, and vice versa. You can determine the trend of the corresponding ETF via SMA-10 and SMA-50 from Finviz.

 

The following is my test results using EY, Expected Earnings Yield (Price/Expecting Earnings) and a Timing Rank provided by a vendor. EY is a primary value matric.

 

The data could be a little off and they are used for illustration purposes. I am not responsible for any errors.

 

I included the stocks in the three major exchanges only. I had 4 tests in 1 year for 2 years. I selected the top 10 stocks or less if not available and got the return after one year (usually a few days off). RSP (an evenly weighted ETF for the S&P 500 stocks) is used as a yardstick.

Comments.

 

·         The market has been great for these two years. It is obviously a bull market. Performances are better by selecting stocks (active management) than buying the entire S&P 500 stocks.

·         Value investing is better than Momentum investing during the test periods.

·         I double checked on the incredible 540% and 186% returns and I did not find any error.

I also find the percentages of losers, maximum and minimum values for both EP and Timing Rank (not listed here).
