How to use IBD to stay on top of growth stocks

Everyday first thing in the morning I prepare a one page summary of IBD ideas.
The basic objective of this is to generate watchlist of growth stocks.
IBD is primarily focused on growth and momentum investing.
It ranks stocks by earnings and price momentum and focuses on top 15% stocks by both.
If you do this daily you are on top of trends in sector, growth stock, IPO, and international stocks trading in USA
This is especially helpful for better analysis of Episodic Pivots opportunities.
The benefit from this activity is cumulative, as you do it more you get to know more and more growth stocks and how they behave and sector trends.

Note: 100/25 f 25 funds 20 to 40. If you see something like this in my notes it indicates a stock had 100% eps growth and 25% sales growth in latest quarter and float was 25 million and its fund ownership has gone up from 20 to 40 in last 4 quarters.
