Chart Of The Day: News Corp – Media Rules


The Chart of the Day belongs to the multi media company News Corp (NWS).  I found the stock by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart  feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 11/ 3 the stock gained 12.03%.
