The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the for profit VoTech company Universal Technical Institute (UTI). I found the stock by sorting Barchart's New 52 Week High list first by the most frequent number of new hihgs in the last month, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 11/21 the stock gained 37.24%.
