The Chart of the Day is O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY).  I found the automotive parts stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for a Weighted Alpha of 50.00+ or more, then for technical buy signals of 80% or better than again for a 50-100 Day MACD Oscillator buy signal.  Last I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  That filtered down the 3000 stock to just 53.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/15 the stock gained 10.77%.
