I am assuming this person is following your trade recommendations and his account is down so I am not sure you answered his question. One thing I have noticed is that many of the stocks you pick have relatively low volume which means bigger spreads and frequently more manipulation by market makers. It also makes buying or selling more difficult. To be honest, I don't really think anyone recommending stocks should be buying them ahead of the subscribers either since I think that might be considered front running. Lastly, everyone does trade differently; as I recall, I believe your trades are based on using the same dollar amount each time rather than using 100 shares for each trade (for example). For someone who is trading the latter approach, the results would clearly be different than yours.
