The chart of the day belongs to the aircraft components company TransDigm (TDG), states Jim Van Meerten of BarChart.com.
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 a Trend Seeker buy signal. I then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 1/10 the stock gained 10.72%.

Analysts and Investor Sentiment: I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it's hard to make money swimming against the tide:
- Wall Street analysts issued 12 strong buy, three buy, six hold, and one sell recommendations this month
- Analysts' price targets are $705 to $1,275 (very wide range) with a consensus of $1,101 which is 2% below its recent price. If consensus is a 2% loss why all the strong buy and buy recommendations?
- Value Line gives the stock an average rating of 3 with an 18-month price target of $1,306 for a 15% gain
- CFRAs MarketScope has a four-star buy rating but a 12-month price target of $1,081 for a 3% loss...why are they telling you to buy something you will lose money on?
- 15,040 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha
Additional Disclosure: The Barchart Chart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stocks are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance and reevaluate your stop losses at least every week.
