Nexstar Broadcasting

The Chart of the Day belongs to Nexstar Broadcasting (NXST). I found the TV media stock buy using Barchart to sort today's Top Stocks to Own list first by the most frequent new highs in the last month, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 10/25 the stock gained 18.63%.
