Today I used Barchart to find the Mid Cap stocks with the best momentum, technical indicators and charts.

Utilities continue to hold onto the top slot in our weekly sector ranking. Basic materials and industrial goods also score above average. Consumer goods score inline, with mid and small cap consumer scoring relatively better than large cap.

The average score across our large cap universe is 58.95 this week, above the four week moving average score of 57.29. The average large cap is trading -10.45% below its 52 week high, 2.67% above its 200 dma, has 3.7 days to cover short, and is expected to post EPS growth of 13.58% next year.

Today we have news of a water crisis in Brazil; stock down ratings in Jordan, London, and Dubai; my advice for an Irish bookie; news on Mongolian real estate; a profit warning from Canada,a comment on Portuguese telecoms; news on the first company in our portfolio hit by Putin's Crimea land-grab; a note from Thailand; and a really raunchy new stock pick.
