What I’m Watching
I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. SEB checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a new “Buy” on Nov. 5, the stock has gained 26.83%.
