The Chart of the Day belongs to Ascent Capital Group (ASCMA). I found the security and alarm stock by using Barchart to sort today's New High list first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or better. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 8/3 the stock gained 39.98%.
