Abaxis - Barchart's Chart of the Day

Abaxis (ABAX) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The medical products company has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 37.50+ and gained 29.43% in the last year.

The Chart of the Day belongs to Abaxis (ABAX).  I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 7/25 the stock gained 14.23%.

ABAX develops, manufactures and markets portable blood analysis systems for use in any patient-care setting to provide clinicians with rapid blood constituent measurements. The Company's primary product is a system consisting of a compact 6.9 kilogram analyzer and a series of single-use plastic discs called reagent discs containing all the chemicals required to perform a panel of up to 12 tests. The system can be operated with minimal training and performs multiple routine tests on whole blood, serum or plasma using either venous or fingerstick samples.
