The Chart of the Day belongs to Omega Protein (NYSE:OME). I found the fish oil supplement stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for a Weighted Alpha of 50.00+ or more, then for technical buy signals of 80% or better and a 50-100 Day MACD Oscillator buy signal. Lastly I always use the Flipchart feature to review the charts. That filtering reduced 3000 stock down to the best 77. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/18 the stock gained 12.84%

Omega Protein Corporation, headquartered in Houston, is one of the nation’s leading producers of edible fish oil, which is high in nutritionally desirable Omega-3 fatty acids and is used in a variety of food products.
