Hey there. Pretty much all of these stocks at one point or another were highlighted here at Premium.
The decision to add or remove a stock from our Bull List is typically one of a value situation. However, often when a stock is removed, it isn't particularly a situation where we advocate selling the stock. We just don't feel it is as "slam dunk" of an opportunity as it was when it was on the list, but we still view them as long term holds.
This is why you will see many stocks inside the model portfolios that are not currently on the Bull Lists. The vast majority of stocks inside of the models themselves are being highlighted here or have been in the past, however.
As always though, the model portfolios ARE supposed to simply be examples, that is why they are "model" portfolios.
