The Chart of the Day belongs to Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS). I found the investment brokerage stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/7 the stock gained 4.69%.
