The Chart of the Day is Westmoreland Coal (WLB). With the Trump election coal mining stocks has rocketed. I found the stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/3 the stock gained 57.19%
Westmoreland Coal Company's principal activities are: the production and sale of coal from the Powder River Basin in eastern Montana; the ownership of interests in cogeneration and other non-regulated independent power plants; and the leasing of capacity at Dominion Terminal Associates, a coal storage and vessel loading facility.
