Technical on 5 popular stocks

Just because a stock is popular does not mean you have to follow the herd and be in it too.  Today I took a list of the 5 most popular stocks with the readers of Seeking Alpha and used Barchart to see how their technical indicators are doing.

Today's list includes Apple (AAPL), Bank of America (BAC), General Electric (GE), Facebook (FB) and Microsoft (MSFT):
