The Chart of the Day is Cascade Microtech (CSCD).  The stock was right near the top of the New High List when I sorted it for frequency.  Since the Trend Spotter gave a buy signal back on 7/15 the stock rose 48.64% and is still climbing.

It designs, develops and manufactures advanced wafer probing solutions for the electrical measurement and test of integrated circuits, or ICs. Their engineering probe stations and analytical probes are used in research and development to perform precise electrical measurements on increasingly complex and high speed ICs. Cascade's production probe cards reduce manufacturing costs of complex and high speed ICs by identifying defective ICs early in the process and by testing multiple ICs concurrently.
