The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to kforce (KFRC). I found the specialty staffing stock by using Barchart to sort today's New 52 Week High list first by the most frequent number of new hihgs in the last month, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation over the last 6 months. Since the Trend spotter signaled a buy on 7/18 the stock gained 17.89%.
