5 Mid Cap for Momentum Investors

Today I wanted to find 5 Mid Cap stocks with great upside momentum.  I used Barchart to sort the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index stocks first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  Next I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts to see if they were trading above their 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages.  Today's Watch List includes:

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (SKT), Tech Data (TECD), DCT Industrial Trust (DCT), Healthcare Realty Trust (HR) and Aqua America (WTR)
