Yes, there actually was a stock that hit a new All Time High today. The Chart of the Day belongs to the Brazilian distance education company Vitru (VTRU). 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 8/12 the stock gained 14.62%.
