I have started watching the DSA videos. I was under the impression that most of these picks were to highlight a stock getting ready to break out of specific pattern? For example, ALGN just broke out above recommended buy point yesterday yet already showed a 3-5% gain on the sheet you provided.

I know you are not their spokesman but is IBD recommending to buy a stock the day it is highlighted in a DSA? If so, doesn't this contradict the buy advice given in the DSA videos? I guess what I am asking is ... why did IBD release this list? Is it simply demonstrate they are identifying stocks early?

I don't expect you to know the answers - just thinking out loud.
