MPC.Micron & 2 Momentum Stocks to Buy Now for Explosive UpsideInvestors now aiming for exceptional returns should concentrate on high-momentum stocks. To uncover stocks with further upside potential, they can follow Richard Driehaus's famous "buy high and sell higher" approach, which earned him a place on Barron's All-Century Team.By applying the Driehaus momentum-investing approach, Micron Technology, Inc., Five Below, Inc. and Marathon Petroleum Corp. have emerged as strong momentum plays and attractive entry points for investors.Inside 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 50-day moving average as one of the key criteria when creating a portfolio in line with 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 above its 50-day moving average, signaling 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 designed to provide better returns over the long term.Here are three of the 15 stocks:Micron Technology Micron Technology is a provider of memory and storage products globally.
