Stock selection criteria (Top 10 groups vs top earnings in Top 50 groups)

Hi Patrick
I've been in Mission Winner for a short time and I still have a lot to learn from you, but in yesterday's video (Key List Wednesday Jan 15 2020), you said something that surprised me and I would like you to explain the reason in depth.

You commented that the stocks candidate to enter in the watch list, if they are located in the first 10 IBD groups (IBD ranking 197) you did not consider the earnings or the sales when being in these stocks in TOP10 groups
I don't know if this applies to all the group's stocks, or only to the group's leading stocks (1st, 2nd)
 
I would also like to ask you how you will decide when in doubt between buying 2 stocks, (with equal technical aspect)
One of then was in the TOP10 groups BUT with regular or bad earnings and sales.
And the other stock that was located between groups 11-49 of IBD but with much better earnings/sales (example Earnings +40% / sales +30%)
Which of the two stocks would you prefer? In other words, which factor is more important to you in stocks (stocks in group TOP10, stock with very good EARNINGS in group 11-49)

Thanks
Mariano
