RLJ Lodging Trust - Barchart's Chart of the Day

RLJ Lodging Trust (RLJ) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The Hotel REIT has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 39.73+, gained 37.99% in the last year and paid a 3.56% dividend.

The Chart of the Day is RLJ Lodging Trust (RLJ). I found the hotel REIT by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks having the most frequent new highs in the last month then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/14 the stock gained 13.06%.

RLJ Lodging Trust is a REIT focused on investing primarily in premium-branded, focused-service, and compact full-service hotels. It plans to own hotels concentrated in urban and dense suburban markets.
