The Chart of the Day is Measurement Specialties (MEAS). I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for new high frequency in the last month then skipped over the stocks that didn't have positive gains for the last week and month. Lastly I used the Flipchart feature to find the chart I liked. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/6 the stock gained 10.09%.
