Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.
These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Crowdstrike and Paypal.
It has all the big names and more.
It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that. Click here to check it out.
The Hall of Famers is simple.
We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.
We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.
However, when it comes to this one, it couldn't be any simpler!
With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US stocks.
Welcome to The Junior Hall of Famers.
This scan is composed of the next 150 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 150 and are thus covered by the Hall of Famers universe.

Have you heard that this bull market is only being driven by Large-cap Tech?
Well, what if Small-cap Tech broke out of this multi-year base to new all-time highs?
What then?
Would it still be just Large-cap Tech?
Here's what the index looks like and, by definition, it excludes any of the so called "Mag7" and any other Mega-cap stocks that are perhaps helping to drive other indexes.
It doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about markets or summer vacations – I always avoid the crowds and aim to beat the heat.
No lines. No traffic. No fake, overpriced food.
It also means dropping those hot semiconductor names and reaching for silver mining stocks…
July is by far the best month of the year for gold’s crazy cousin. And it’s not even close:
Unsurprisingly, silver futures gained roughly seven percent last week. They also eclipsed the previous month's high and printed their highest weekly close since January 2013 – a stellar way to start the month.
On the flip side, June takes the cake as Silver’s most challenging month of the year.
And what did Silver do last month?
It only fell by three percent, finding support at a critical shelf of former highs:
