Verisk Analytics - Chart of the Day

Verisk Analytics (VRKS) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The business information company has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 18.70+ and gained 14.73% in the last year.

The Chart of the Day belongs to Verisk Analytics (VRSK).  I found the business information stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  I always use the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 6/30 the stock gained 5.57%.
