5 Great NASDAQ 100 stocks

Today I wanted to find the 5 NASDAQ 100 stocks with the best technical buy signals and most consistent charts. I used Barchart to first sort the Index for the best technical buy signals, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  I skipped several stocks with great technical buy signals but very choppy charts.

Today's list includes Amgen (AMGN), Apple (AAPL), Celgene (CELG), Catamaran (CTRX), F5 Networks (FFIV):
