Any Bright Spots In Small Caps?

Small Caps have been under performing the overall market lately. The S&P 600 Small Cap Index is down 11.17% from its previous high on July 1. The Weighted Alpha of the Index is -3.87 and the Relative Strength Index is only 29.36%. Are there any bright spots here?

I used Barchart to sort the stock in the Index first for the highest technical buy signals, then I used the Flipchart feature to find the charts I liked. Today's list includes Vicor Corp (NASDAQ:VICR), Caseys General Stores (NASDAQ:CASY), Treehouse Foods (NYSE:THS), ICU Medical (NASDAQ:ICUI) and DTS Inc (NASDAQ:DTSI):
