Chart of the Day: FTAI Aviation - All Time High Even on a Bad Day

Barchart - Thu Jul 25, 7:00AM CDT

Authors Note:  The last time I featured FTAI Aviation (FTAI) was on February 1 when it closed at $53.95.  Today it closed at 109.25 or 102% higher.

The Chart of the Day belongs to the aviation rental and leasing company FTAI Aviation (FTAI) .  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 7/16 the stock gained 1.70%.

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.
