Most value investors are familiar with Buffett’s famous advice to seek out quality companies rather than invest in mediocre companies that look cheap.

Today I used Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index stocks to find the stocks with the best technical indicators and charts.

The highest scoring names in large cap from 1 year ago (2/26/2013) returned 263 bps more than the S&P 500. The best performers are GILD up 95%, PCLN up 94%, MYL up 83%, YHOO up 80%, TMO up 69%, and XEC up 69%.
