I know I featured Patrick Industries (PATK) as the Chart of the Day last September but charts just don't get any better than this. I found the building products stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or better. I then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.
