The Chart of the Day belongs to the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis (NVS) . 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 7/25 the stock gained 9.14%.

Beyond Nasdaq…Monogram's new investment potential
Monogram (Nasdaq: MGRM), known for its autonomous robotic surgical systems, completed a crowd funded public offering and NASDAQ listing last year. What’s next?
They just filed for FDA approval to market and commercialize their patented AI joint replacement tech. By the year 2027, 50% of knee replacement surgeries will be robotic – up from 12% today.
Now, Monogram’s offering a new chance for investors: the opportunity to invest in preferred stock with an 8% dividend (in cash or kind). Their common shares closed as high as $3.41 in the past week, but the unlisted preferred stock (which is convertible into one share of common) is available for $2.25/share. Zacks recently said it feels MGRM is worth $6/share.
Monogram currently plans to close the Series D Preferred offering on September 12, 2024.
