Today I used Barchart to sort a list of Wall Street's highly recommended stocks to find the 5 with the best technical buy signals.

I added Ameren Corp to the Van Meerten New High portfolio for very positive price momentum.

Water and Gas Utilities have outperformed but Multi-Utilities gets the current nod technically While the Utility sector is on the low end of total returns over the previous 3-yrs and TTM, they generated respectable returns for YTD and first 6-months 2014.

The highest scoring names in large cap from 1 year ago (1/29/2013) returned 334 bps more than the S&P 500. The best performers have been YHOO up 92%, BSX up 88%, and LNKD up 75%.
