I wanted to find the 5 small cap stocks with the best current momentum so I used Barchart to sort the S&P 600 Small Cap Index stocks first for the highest technical buy signals, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.
The list today includes Quality Systems (NASDAQ: QSII), Electro Scientific Industries (NASDAQ: ESIO), New Jersey Resources (NYSE: NJR), Healthcare Realty Trust (NYSE : HR), and Francesca’s Holdings (NASDAQ: FRAN).
