★★★ Momentum Confirmation
Criteria: Insider Buy After >+10% Prior Month
Any insider buying ≥$200k after the stock already moved up >10% in the prior month. Counter-intuitive but data-backed: exec sees real fundamental improvement behind the move. EV +17–34% through 9m — exit at 9m as performance degrades past that point.
Target Hold: 6–9 months
