The Chart of the Day is Western Digital (WDC). I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks hitting the most frequent new highs in the last month ten used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/31 the stock gained 9.01%,

Western Digital Corp. designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad line of hard drives featuring leading-edge technology. The company's hard drives are designed for the desktop PC market and the high-end hard drive market and, recently, for the emerging market for hard drives specially designed for audio-visual applications, such as new video recording devices. The company sells its products worldwide to computer manufacturers for inclusion in their computer systems or subsystems and to distributors, resellers and retailers.
