The Chart of the Day is Clayton Williams Energy (NYSE:CWEI). I found the oil and gas exploration and development stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 6/23 the stock gained 218.49%.
