ORLA.3 High-Momentum Stocks Poised for Big Gains Right NowThe Driehaus strategy can be used to identify the strongest momentum stocks. It follows the principle of “buy high and sell higher" investment philosophy, a successful investment approach that helped Richard Driehaus earn a spot on Barron’s All-Century Team.With that in mind, stocks like Strategic Education, Inc., TechnipFMC plc and Orla Mining Ltd. have been identified as today’s top momentum picks using the Driehaus strategy.A Detailed Look Into the Driehaus StrategyRegarding the strategy, Driehaus once said: “I would much rather invest in a stock that’s increasing in price and take the risk that it may begin to decline than invest in a stock that’s already in decline and try to guess when it will turn around.” In line with this insight, the American Association of Individual Investors (“AAII”) considered the percentage 50-day moving average as one of the key criteria before creating a portfolio following Driehaus’ philosophy.It is calculated by dividing the numerator (month-end price minus 50-day moving average of month-end price) by the 50-day moving average of the month-end price. Another momentum indicator — positive relative strength — has also been included in this strategy. A positive percentage 50-day moving average indicates that the stock is trading at a price higher than its 50-day moving average level, indicating an uptrend.Moreover, AAII found that Driehaus primarily focuses on strong earnings growth rates and impressive earnings projections to pick potential outperformers. Companies with a strong history of beating estimates are also given importance in this strategy, which was made to provide better returns over the long term.These few parameters have narrowed the universe of more than 7,743 stocks to only 14.Here are three of the 14 stocks:Strategic EducationStrategic Education provides campus-based and online post-secondary education, along with programs that build job-ready skills.
