The Chart of the Day belongs to National Beverage (Nasdaq:FIZZ). I found the soft drink stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for technical buy signals of 80% or better then for very positive Weighted Alphas. Next I use the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 6/16 the stock gained 16.47%.

National Beverage Corp. is a holding company for various subsidiaries that develop, manufacture, market and distribute a complete portfolio of quality beverage products throughout the United States.
