The "Chart of the Day" is Kellogg (K), which showed up on Barchart's "NYSE 12-month high" list last Friday. Kellogg last Friday rallied to a 2-1/2 year high of $54.50 and closed up 0.67% at $54.33. A rally above the record high for the stock of $54.55 posted in September 2008 would be a particularly bullish technical development. TrendSpotter has been long Kellogg since Feb 4 at $53.01. In recent news on the stock, Citigroup on Feb 8 reiterated Kellogg as its top pick in the food sector with upside to 2011 guidance and an excellent risk/reward at then-current levels. Citi reiterated its Buy rating on the stock and its $61 target. Kellogg, with a market cap of $19.5 billion, is the world's leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, frozen waffles, meat alternatives, pie crusts, and ice cream cones.

How we found the Chart of the Day:
We found the "Chart of the Day" by scanning the Barchart "New Highs/Lows" page. Then we clicked on the entry for NYSE 12-month highs. A new 12-month high is a popular sign of upside momentum. We then clicked on the "12-Month # Highs" column heading twice in order to sort the list in ascending order. Stocks with the fewest number of 12-month highs over the past 12 months are stocks that have only recently broken out to a new 12-month high and may have better upside potential then stocks that have already rallied sharply and have posted many new 12-month highs.
