Sonic Automotive – Dealership Play

The Chart of the Day belongs to the automotive dealership Sonic Automotive (SAH). I found the stock by sorting Barchart’s All Time High list first by the most frequent number of new highs in the last month and having a Trend Spotter buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter first signaled a buy on 7/29 the stock gained 37.80%.

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:
