The Chart of the Day belongs to the social media website Reddit (RDDT) . 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 9/18 the stock gained 162.60%.

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 analyst gave 6 strong buy, 4 buy, 6 hold and 1 sell opinion on the stock
- Analysts have price targets between $85 and $200
- Value Line rates the stock has 3-5 year price targets between $75 and $125 and comments:" It remains to be seen if the company will be able to generate earnings that are sufficient to justify its share price in the years ahead. Moreover, the company has been publicly-traded for only a relatively short time, which makes business prospects difficult to evaluate."

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 on a weekly basis.
