The Chart of the Day is Kroger (KR). I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for new high frequency in the last month, skipped any stocks that didn't have a positive gain for the last week and month. I then used the Flipcahrt feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/19 the stock gained 12.59%.
KR is one of the larger grocery retailers in the United States. The company also manufactures and processes food for sale by its supermarkets. The company intends to develop new food and convenience store locations and will continue to assess existing stores as to possible replacement, remodeling, enlarging, or closing.
