I see this a lot. a stockmis on the move due to some factor but on the move. the question is it A buy. the fact that the stock is on the move should never be the reason to purchase unless you happen to be day trading and volatility and momentum are your guide. anything else should be guided by the fundamentals and that is the bottom line. so next time you see the question " is it time to buy xyz" break out your fundamentals check list.
