WD-40 (WDFC) is the Barchart Chart of the Day. The chemical products stock has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 18.30+, gained 12.84% in the last year and paid a 1.66% dividend.

The Chart of the Day belongs to WD-40 (WDFC).  I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks with 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 10/20 the stock gained 12.76%.

WD-40 Company sells a petroleum-based product, known as ``WD-40.`` WD-40 is a multi-purpose product which acts as a lubricant, rust preventative, penetrant, cleaner and moisture displacer. They also sell the 3-IN-ONE Oil. 3-IN-ONE Oil is a lower cost general purpose lubricant that is useful when precise applications of a lubricant are needed.
