There is a big difference of opinion between the individual investors and professional analysts so I'd advise putting a stop loss on Intel. The Chart of the Day belongs to the semi conductor company Intel (INTC) . 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 11 / 3 the stock gained 5.82%.
