Today I used Barchart to sort the S&P 600 Small Cap Index stocks to find the stocks with the best current momentum. I first sorted for the most frequent advances in the last month then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.

The stock that made the cut were DXP Enterprises (DXPE), EastGroup Properties (EGP), LTC Properties (LTC), Medical Properties Trust (MPW) and Ruby Tuesday (RT):
