As an example I'm not sure why MD wasn't recommended as a buy in either April or July rather than November (and on declining average volume). I've watched a lot of these stocks make their biggest moves weeks or months before you recommend them - presumably because of some criteria of yours that hasn't been met. Would prefer an alert service that identifies stocks much earlier in their trends. If you're applying Alert Factors #1, #4 & #5 I don't see the problem.
