Welcome to edition 216 of Insider Weekends. Insider buying increased last week with insiders buying $113.26 million of stock compared to $60.16 million in the week prior.

I wanted to find 5 great large cap stocks so I used Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index stocks. First I sorted for new high frequency in the last month, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.

The best scoring sector remains utilities this week. Basic materials and healthcare score in line with the average universe score. In basics and healthcare, large and mid cap score better relative to peers than small cap.

Our top scoring large cap stocks from 1 year ago produced an average 666 bps of excess return to the S&P 500 over the past year.
