The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the home improvement retailer
Lowe's (LOW). I found the stock buy using Barchart to sort the S&P 100 Index stocks first by the highest Weighted Alpha and Barchart technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/11 the stock gained 23.85%.

The Barchart Chart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stock are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance and reevaluate your stop losses at least on a weekly basis.
