The Chart of the Day belongs to iRobot (IRBT).  I found the industrial robot stock by using Barchart to sort today’s All Time High list first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 3/22 the stock gained 10.33%.

iRobot Corp. designs robots that perform dull, dirty or dangerous missions in a better way. The company’s proprietary technology, iRobot AWARE, Robot Intelligence Systems, incorporates advanced concepts in navigation, mobility, manipulation and artificial intelligence. This proprietary system enables iRobot to build behavior-based robots, including its family of consumer and military robots.
