One general comment: A stock is not added to the portfolio just because its popular. The first and biggest requirement is current and positive momentum. Next those stocks that are not getting positive support from both the professional and general investors are eliminated. The stocks remaining are then considered.

This second cut is a realization that a stock enjoying positive momentum will not continue upward unless it continues to have investor support and positive press.
