The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the pharmaceutical preparations stock Eli Lilly (LLY). I found the stock by using Barchart to sort today's New 52 Week High list for the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. I always use the Flipchart feature to review the stocks for consistent price appreciation over the last 6 months. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 5/10 the stock gained 22.78%.
