The Chart of the Day belongs to Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE: SMG). I found the agricultural chemical stock by using Barchart to sort today’s All Time High list first for the highest number of new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals above 80%. Then I used the Flipchart feature to review the stocks. Since the Trend spotter signaled a buy on 1/29 the stock gained 6.76%.
