The Chart of the Day is Exelixis (EXEL) and is a repeat from 8/22 but has a chart that can't be ignored. I found the biopharmaceutical stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first by the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then again by technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend spotter signaled a buy on 4/6 the stock gained 243.05%.
Exelixis, Inc. (EXEL) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing small molecule therapies for the treatment of cancer. Exelixis is focusing its development and commercialization efforts primarily on COMETRIQ' (cabozantinib), its wholly-owned inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases. Another Exelixis-discovered compound, cobimetinib, a selective inhibitor of MEK, is being evaluated by Roche and Genentech (a member of the Roche Group) in a broad development program under a collaboration with Exelixis.
