The Chart of the Day belongs to Monroe Capital (Nasdaq: MRCC). I found the investment management stock by using Barchart to sort today’s All Time 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 use the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 6/29 the stock gained 5.08%.
