The Chart of the Day belongs to Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) a repeat that was highlighted back in January.  I found the fiber optics stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list, first by the highest Weighted Alpha, then again by technical buy signals.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled another buy on 8/12 the stock gained 31.75%.
