The Chart of the Day is Sonoco Products (SON).  I found the paper products stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the highest number of new highs during the last month, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/10 the stock gained 18.81%.
