My 5 Favorite Mid Cap Stocks

Today I wanted to find 5 Mid Cap Stocks that not only made great returns in the last year but still seemed to have some more upside momentum.  I used Barchart to sort the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index stocks first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  Next I used the Flipchart feature to make sure they consistently traded above their 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages.  My Watch List today includes:

Take-Two Interactive (TTWO), IPG Photonics (IPGP), Cognex (CGNX), First Solar (FSLR) and NVR (NVR).
