The Chart of the Day belongs to ION Geophysical (IO). I found the oil services stock by using Barchart to sort today’s Top Stocks to Own list first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/6 the stock gained 55.50%.
