The Chart of the Day belongs to Gartner (IT). I found the management consulting stock by using Barchart to sort the S&P 500 Large Cap Index stocks first by the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again by technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 5/25 the stock gained 6.96%.
