The Best of the NASDAQ1 100

Today I used Barchart to sort the NASDAQ 100 Index to find the stocks with the best technical indicators and charts.  First I sorted for new high frequency in the last month.  Next I skipped the stocks that didn't have positive gains for the last week and month and didn't have a Trend Spotter buy.  Lastly I used the Flipchart feature to find the charts I liked.

Today's list includes Fastenal (FAST), Texas Instruments (TXN), Linear Technology (LLTC), Tripadvisor (TRIP), Altera (ALTR):
