The Chart of the Day belongs to the vacation cruise line Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL). I found the stock by using Barchart's powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum, and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 11/7 the stock gained 39.30%.

The trend is upward but professional analysts' projections are all over the place!

Analysts and Investor Sentiment -- I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it's hard to make money swimming against the tide:

• Wall Street analysts issued 14 strong buy, 4 buy, 4 hold and 1 sell recommendation on the stock
• Analysts price target are between $100 and $155 with a consensus of $125 which is actually lower that today's price — Does that make sense???
• The individual investors following the stock on Motley Fool voted 482 to 102 for the stock to beat the market with the most experienced investors voting 103 to 17 for the same result
• Value Line gives the stock its highest rating of 1 but has an 18-month price target of 106 for a 20% loss — makes no sense at all
• CFRA's MarketScope gives the stock a 4 star buy with a price target of $146
• 54,270 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha
