The 5 Best Large Caps

Today's list comes from using Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index for frequency of new highs.  I then skipped over the stocks that did not have a positive gain for both the last week and month and reviewed the chart using the Flipchart feature.

Today's list includes Ameriprise Financial Services (AMP), Perrigo Company (PRGO), Progressive Corporation (PGR), The NASDAQ OMX Group (NDAQ) and U S Bancorp (USB):
