Here are the top stories that were featured in our Investment U Daily this week... Dr. Scott Brown Education Director 5 Characteristics of the Perfect Momentum Stock The consistent returns of momentum investors baffled "efficiency theory" economists and stuffy Nobel Laureates who claimed the markets move randomly, like bacteria in a Petri dish.
