The Chart of the Day is Xylem (NYSE:XYL). I found the pumping equipment stock by using Barchart to sort today’s New High list of stock trading over 100K shares a day first for the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/2 the stock gained 11.46%.
