The Chart of the Day belongs to Henry Schein (HSIC). I found the medical equipment stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the highest technical buy signals then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 2/10 the stock gained 6.05%,
