Zoe's Kitchen - All Time High

The Chart of the Day belongs to Zoe's Kitchen (ZOES). I found the stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list for the stocks with the best technical buy signals, then used he Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 6/5 the stock rose 10.93%.

The stock is up over 40% YTD. The CEO of Zoe's, Kevin Miles was quoted as saying that the key to Zoe's success is providing good food that resonates with customers, something they've been doing for the past 20 years. Currently, out of 8 Wall Street analysts opinions, 3 are a strong buy, 1 a buy, and 4 a hold. Can the stock continue its momentum?
