What I’m Watching

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. BK checks those boxes. The Trend Seeker issued a new “Buy” signal on April 2. Since then, the stock has gained 6.86%.
