The Chart of the Day belongs to Medifast (MED). I found the health product stock by using Barchart to sort the Top 100 Stocks list first for the most frequent number of new highs on the last month, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 5/4 the stock gained 22.68%.
