The Chart of the Day belongs to Banco Santander - Chile (BSAC).  I found the Chilean bank stock by using Barchart to sort today's  Top Stocks to Own list, first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 3/1 the stock gained 12.36%.

Banco Santiago is the largest bank in Chile, in terms of assets with Ch$4,088 billion (approximately US$9.86 billion ) as of March 31, 1997. The bank is the result of the merger of two of the largest institutions in the Chilean banking system, Banco O'Higgins S.A., mainly a corporate bank, and Banco de Santiago S.A., mainly focused in consumer and middle-market lending.
