5 Mid Cap Picks

Note:  Today I am not investing.  I'm sitting on the sidelines.  I may trim a few under performing stocks but I will not add to my positions.  The market as measured by the Value Line  Index is down.  Please observe this hourly trading chart of the Value Line Index over the past month to see the overall market trend:

That being said today I sorted the S & P 400 Mid Cap Index to find the 5 with the best Barchart technical indicators.  Although these are the best, please note that no stock in the index has a 100% score today - another reason for my caution and sitting on the sidelines.  The list today includes Worthington Industries (WOR), Domtar (UFS), Senior Housing Properties Trust (SNH), SEI Investments (SEIC) and Rackspace Hosting (RAX):
