Zafgen - Barchart's Chart of the Day

Zafgen (ZFGN) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The pharmaceutical stock has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 155.10+ and gained 139.09% in the last year.

The Chart of the Day belongs to Zafgen (ZFGB).  I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks with the best technical buy signals, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 1/22 the stock gained 26.74%.

Zafgen, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. The Company develops therapeutics for patients suffering from obesity and obesity-related disorders. Its lead product candidate includes Beloranib, an injection that is in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of various indications comprising obesity and hyperphagia in Prader-Willi Syndrome patients, craniopharyngioma-associated obesity, and severe obesity in the general population.
