The Chart of the Day belongs to Edenor (EDN) – Empresa Distribuidora y Comercialzadora Norte. I found the Argentine electric utility by using Barchart to sort today’s Top Stocks to Own list first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation.Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 12/7 the stock gained 30.94%.

Edenor is the largest electricity distribution company in Argentina in terms of number of customers and electricity sold (both in GWh and Pesos). Through a concession, Edenor distributes electricity exclusively to the northwestern zone of the greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area and the northern part of the city of Buenos Aires, which has a population of approximately 7 million people and an area of 4,637 sq. km.
