The Chart of the Day belongs to Central Garden & Pet Company (NASDAQ:CENTA). I found the consumer products stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest technical buy signals then again for a Weighted Alpha greater that 50.00+. Next I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 8/6 the stock gained 34.88%.
