AK Steel - Barchart's Chart of the Day

AK Steel (AKS) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The rolled steel producer seems to be making a recovery and has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 133.30+ and gained 73.98% over the last year.


The Chart of the Day is AK Steel (AKS).  I found the stock by sorting the New High List for frequency in the last month and eliminating the stock that did not have a positive gain for the last week and month.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/14 the stock is up 180.00%.
