1. Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY):
Shares of this megacap drug maker are coiling up in a nice looking bull flag following its breakout to new alltime highs. Next leg higher should take price to $70.

This is a recent IPO so more speculative, but recent good news about its implantable eye prosthetics -- helping the blind to see -- set the stock on fire. It has pullbed back to its IPO breakout pivot, so a nice entry is available here:
