The Chart of the Day belongs to KMG Chemical (KMG). I found the specialty chemical stock by using Barhchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the most frequent number of new hings in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 11/11 the stock gained 12.44%.
KMG Chemicals manufactures, markets and distributes specialty, niche chemicals. The company manufactures, markets and distributes three wood preserving chemicals, pentachlorophenol, creosote and sodium pentachlorophenate, to industrial customers engaged in the wood preserving business. The company's customers use these preservatives to treat wood and supply the treated wood products to end-users in a variety of industries, principally the railroad, utility and construction industries.
