This morning I used Barchart to sort the S&P 600 Small Cap Index stocks first for the most frequent number of new highs in the last month then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistency. Today's watch list includes:
Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND), Kraton Performance Polymers (KRA), Olympic Steel (ZEUS), Vasco Data Security (VDSI) and Examworks(EXAM)
