Stock picking based on gains from 52 week low

Hi Pat, I read in a book about stock picking based on gains from 52 week low. It was looking if a stock is in an uptrend and reaching a first consolidation base after climbing up from a bigger base (>6months). If the price has at least doubled from 52 week low, this stock will climb a lot in future compared to other stocks (Taser stock was mentioned as an example). I think another point was that the stock should have gained at least 20% within 4 weeks.  Could this information also be used in addition to your criterias (to refine selection) ? Or do you think it does not matter too much as group rank matters more. As always thank you very much sharing your thoughts on it. Best regards, TJ
