The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the biofuel stock Renewable Energy(REGI). I found the stock by using Barchart to sort today's New 52 week Highlist first by the most frequent number of new highs in the last month then again by technical buy signals of 80% or more. I ten used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 8/6 the stock gained 40.34%.
