The Chart of the Day belongs to The York Water Company (YORW).  I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks with the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled another buy on 12/17 the stock gained 13.22%.
