The idea
I believe recent winners tend to keep winning, so instead of chasing last month's single top stock, I built around momentum funds that automatically re-screen for leaders across large caps, small/mid caps, and international markets. Around that core I hold today's clearest leaders in AI memory and chips, plus a few non-tech names showing similar strength. I keep a cash reserve on the side since momentum can snap hard when leadership shifts, giving me room to adjust rather than predict the turn.
