The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the retail apparel stock American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). I found the stock by using Barchart to sort today's Top 100 Stocks first by technical buy signals of 80% or better then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation over the past 6 months. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 7/23 the stock gained 10.07%.
