The Chart of the Day belongs to Abiomed (ABMD). I found the medical instrument stock by using Barchart to sort today’s New 52 Week High list first for the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. I always use the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 1/5 the stock gained 31.76%.
