The Chart of the Day belongs to Sovran Self Storage (NYSE: SSS). I found the self storage stock by using Barchart to sort today’s 52 week high list first for the highest numbers of new highs in the last month, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 11/20 the stock gained 9.62%.

Sovran Self Storage, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust which acquires, owns and manages self-storage properties.
