The Chart of the Day belongs to the financial service company The Goldman Sachs Group (GS). 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 4 /23 the stock gained 9.93%.

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 16 strong buy, 1 buy and 5 hold recommendations
• Value Line has the stock rated its highest rating of 1 with a mid-point price target of $540 about a 20% return
• CFRAs MarketScope has a  4 star buy rating and a price target of $488
• MorningStar gives the stock an average 3 star rating with a Fair Value of $417
• Only 200,000 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha
