Summary

  • 100% technical buy signals.
  • 7 new highs and up 49.02% in the last month.
  • 424.66% gain in the last year.

The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the medical diagnostics and research company Fulgent Genetics (Nasdaq : FLGT).  I went on the assumption that stocks that have consistently hit new highs might continue to hit new highs.  I sorted Barchart's New All-Time High list by the highest Weighted Alpha then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent upward momentum.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 11/16 the stock gained 40.94%.

The Barchart Chart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stock are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance and reevaluate your stop losses at least on a weekly basis.
