Oct 22, 2015 9:35 PM | about stocks: GNCMA

The Chart of the Day is General Communications (GNCMA). I found the diversified telephone stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for a Weighted Alpha of at least 50.00+ then again for technical buy signals of 80% or better. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 10/15 the stock gained 3.47%.

General Communication, Inc. is a diversified telecommunications provider with a leading position in facilities-based long distance service in the state of Alaska and, as a result of recent acquisitions, has become Alaska's leading cable television service provider. The Company seeks to become the first significant provider in Alaska of an integrated package of telecommunications and cable television services.
