Today I used Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index stocks to find the ones with the best upside momentum. First I sorted for the most frequent new highs in the last month and then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. Next I always use the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistency.

Today's watch list includes: Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA), Tyco International (NYSE: TYC), Patterson (Nasdaq: PDCO), Texas Instruments (Nasdaq: TXN) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)
