Mirati Therapeutics - All Time High

The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the biomedical company Mirati Therapeutics (NASDAQ: MRTX).  Since there was not a clear direction in the markets I decided to use Barchart's New All-Time High list and sort by the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then used the Flipchart function to review the charts for consistent price appreciation.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/15 the stock gained 37.48%.

Mirati Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage oncology company, develops product candidates to address the genetic and immunological promoters of cancer in the United States.
