Today's 5 Best Large Caps

Today as I write this article most stocks are still trading below their 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages.  Right now the percentage trading above their DMA's are:

• 19.09% - 20 DMA
• 13.63% - 50 DMA
• 16.97% - 100 DMA

The stocks listed today are by no means a buy list, they are just the stocks that came up in my screener.  This morning I used Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index stocks for the ones with the highest technical buy signals.  Personally, I don't buy unless both the market and the individual stocks have buy signals.  Right now although a few individual stocks have buy signals the market as a whole is still trading below its daily moving averages.

Today's list includes XCEL Energy (XEL), Wisconsin Energy (WEC), Southern Company (SO), Realty Income (O), and NiSource (NI):
