Waters Corp – All Time High


The Chart of the Day belongs to Waters Corp (NYSE:WAT). I found the stock by sorting today’s All Time High list for the stocks with the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 4/28 the stock gained 7.30%.
