<Is there usually sufficient time to perform your analysis based upon public records (quarterlies) to detect a negative change in your key indicators to avoid serious erosion in a stock price?> Serious (potential) erosion in stock price is usually discovered through rigorous FA. For instance, NSCP in 1996 was grossly mispriced. A good look at thier environment, competition, and technology would have revealed that to even the most novice investor. The prudent investor had weeks, if not months to act on his findings. More recently, NSCP has played the funny money game with thier earnings. No specialized knowledge was needed to discover this, simply a thorough look at thier most recent financial statements. Armed with this knowledge the investor knows whether to stay clear of a company or to delve deeper for more info. The software that you mentioned is to be used as a high end calculator to compress the time it takes to look into a company's financials. So, to make a long story short, the answer is yes, there is more than sufficient time to perform the analyses and act on your findings.
