The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the retailer of durable consumer goods Conn's (Nasdaq: CONN).  Readers are always asking me how to find stocks that are just beginning to trend before everyone else discovers them.  One of the best ways is to look at Barchart's Strong Volume Gains preformatted screener.  It identifies stocks that have had significant increases in both volume and price over the past 5 days. Today it identified 35 stock that fitted that criteria.  I sorted that list by Weighted Alpha then used the Flipchart feature to review the chart for consistent price appreciation.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 5/17 the stock gained 36.83%.
