The Chart of the Day belongs to Texas Roadhouse (Nasdaq: TXRH). I found the steak house stock by using Barchart to sort today’s All Time High list first for the highest technical buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 1/14 the stock gained 16.88%.
