The highly acclaimed investment advisory site Value Line rates each stock with a Price Growth Persistence score for their price momentum over the last 10 year period. Each stock is rated against every other stock in their data base and given a score of 5 to 100 to reflect which percentile each stock attained. I took those scoring 90 or better and sorted them against Barchart's technical buy signals. That filtered Value Lines 1700 stock down to the top 279 of 16%, then I used Barchart to determine the best 5.

The list contained CBOE Holdings (CBOE), Athenahealth (ATHN), Churchill Downs (CHDN), Amazon.Com (AMZN) and EPlus (PLUS).
