Buy Hold Sell: 3 stocks on the rise (and 2 beaten-down darlings)

Buy Hold Sell, by Livewire Markets

Momentum investors hitch their wagons to companies with good investor sentiment, often impressive earnings, improving prospects - and most importantly, a rising share price.

It's a tried and tested strategy, made famous by American fund manager Richard Driehaus, whose firm, Driehaus Capital Management, reportedly delivered returns of 30% per annum after it was set up in 1982.

Often, companies with positive momentum attract other investors, helping push the share price higher. Take Boss Energy (ASX: BOE), for instance, which has seen its share price soar around 100% this year on positive investor sentiment around uranium.

Negative momentum, however, is a different story. Stocks with poor investor sentiment continue to slide down a slippery slope, often burning investors - like you and I - with it. And while yes, some stocks of this nature will be trading on the cheap for a reason, others could be oversold unfairly to the point they are attractive buys.

So in this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Forager Funds Management's Steve Johnson and Tyndall Asset Management's Jason Kim for their analysis of three stocks that have recently rebounded, re-rated or have continued to skyrocket higher.

Plus, they also name two beaten-down darlings that they believe are now big buys.
