Kellogg - Chart of the Day

Kellogg (K) is the Barchart Chart of the Day. The food products company has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 20.20+, gained 18.97% in the last year and paid a 2.71% dividend.

The Chart of the Day belongs to Kellogg (K).  I found the food products stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the highest technical buy signals, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 1/28 the stock gained 3.30%.
