Today is wanted to find 5 great mid cap momentum stocks so I used Barchart to sort the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index stocks for the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.

The stock making the cut were Sovran Self Storage (NYSE:SSS), Mid-America Apartment Communities (NYSE:MAA), Granite Construction (NYSE:GVA), Extra Space Storage (NYSE:EXR) and Charles River Laboratories (NYSE:CRL).
