The Chart of the Day is AT&T (T).  I found the telephone communications stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks for the highest technical buy signals , then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 1/22 the stock gained 7.11%.
