5 Large Caps with Steady Gains

Many times the best Large Cap stocks aren't the ones that rose the most or the ones with the most positive indicators.  I also like to see a stock with steady upward momentum.  One of the best ways to find those stocks is to use Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index stocks for the most frequent new highs in the last month and then review the charts using the Flipchart feature.

Today's watch list includes CBS Corp (CBS), Prologis (PLD), Exelon (EXC),  Avalonbay Communities (AVB), and Whirlpool (WHR).
