Momentum investing

Titman's most well known research has been on Momentum investing.[4] Momentum investing is an investment strategy that aims to capitalize on the continuance of existing trends in the market.[5]

In 1993, Narasimhan Jegadeesh and Titman published Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers: Implications for Stock Market Efficiency.[6] A study economist Robert Shiller called a bombshell.[7]
