Today's Scan: May's Five Stocks That Can Benefit From The "Rising Tide" Effect

Today's Scan:

Are These Stocks Poised To Go Higher?  Five Stocks For May That Can Benefit From The "Rising Tide" Effect.

For the last two months I have done scans that can benefit from the "Rising Tide" effect.  Nine of the ten stocks were higher a month later, including all five stocks from April's list.  Therefor, I am going to repeat the scan for May.

To recap the scan, there is an old saying on Wall Street that "a rising tide lifts all boats."   How this relates to the stock markets is that during a bull market, even out of favor or beaten down stocks will rise.  In other words, all stocks will get the benefit of a strong overall stock market.  With the Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting an all time high and other indexes hitting multi-year highs, the following five stocks may be poised to "rise with the tide".  Today's scan searches for stocks in the bottom 25% of their 52 week range, but have risen at least 5% in the last 20 days.  Furthermore, they are trading with above average volume and have a strong daily RSI:
