The Chart of the Day belongs to Pinnacle West Capital (PNW). I found the electric utility stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first by the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again by the highest technical buy signals. Next I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 3/8 the stock gained 6.06%.
