What I’m Watching
I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals and superior current momentum. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. FRSH checks those boxes. The Trend Seeker issued a new “Buy” signal on Oct. 5. Since that signal, shares are up 5.6%.
