The Chart of the Day belongs to Valhi (VHI). I found the diversified chemical stock by using Barchart to sort today’s Top Stocks to Own list first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then again using the Flipchart feature to find a chart with consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 10/2 the stock gained 140.45%.
