Amazon.Com - Chart Of The Day
The Chart of the Day belongs to Amazon.Com (NASDAQ:AMZN). I found the Internet commerce stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for a Weighted Alpha of 50.00 or higher then again for technical buy signals of 80% or better. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/5 the stock gained 4.98%.

Amazon has a habit of beating earnings. Last July, there was a huge 226% positive earnings surprise that included the company posting a gain ($0.19). The stock moved higher by $41.15 the next day, but was up as much as $75 intra-day. Next earnings are in 2 days, can it beat again?
