The Phoenix Companies (PNX) is the Chart of the Day. Personally, I wouldn't buy it but I'm using it as an illustration to point out a frothy stock from the New High List.

Summary: Although the stock is on the new high you have to look beyond the chart and look for red flags. The stock shot up by 51.07% in the last month and has a Relative Strength Index approaching 90%. Too much, too fast. No analysts have a buy recommendation and the Financial Strength in only a C. Revenue has a negative trend. I hope you look at all the signals and decide this stock just has too much risk and probably not enough upside potential. Always look at all the numbers before you buy.
