The Chart of the Day belongs to the Brazilian aircraft company Embraer-Empresa Brasileira DE Aeronautica (ERJ). 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 1/15 the stock gained 35.00%.
