I wanted to find which Small Cap stocks had not only the best consistent return in the past year but which ones also had currently not run out of steam. I used Barchart to sort the S&P 600 Small Cap Index stocks first by the Weighted Alpha then looked for stocks with the highest technical buy signals.
Today's list includes Lending Tree (Nasdaq:TREE), Abiomed (Nasdaq:ABMD), AMN healthcare Services (NYSE:AHS), Stamps.com (Nasdaq:STMP) and Amedisys (Nasdaq:AMED).
