The Chart of the Day belongs to Popular Inc (BPOP). I found the Puerto Rican bank stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest number of new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 7/1 the stock gained 17.93%.
