Stocks up 25% in a month

A few weeks rally has resulted in number of stocks making big moves. 82 stocks are up 25% plus in a month as of today. Just 14 trading days ago the situation was reverse of this with 137 stocks down 25% plus in a month.
Some key highlights from the list are:

  1. Stocks with low float continue to dominate the list with 60% of the stocks with less than 25 million float
  2. 85% of stocks had less than 100 million float.
  3.  The implication is clear, you need to have some real good reason to buy stock above 100 million float
  4. IPO's had some very good moves. In recent years IPO have been poor performers. This change of focus to IPO is good sign.
  5. 70% of the stocks are priced below 25 . Often traders use price cutoffs to eliminate low priced stocks, but in reality lower priced stocks tend to make bigger moves.

From what I read, I should focus my efforts on the low float stocks. Would that apply just in this market or should I adopt that as my criteria in all uptrending markets?
