Chart of the Day: The Goldman Sachs Group – Making Beautiful Hits

 The Chart of the Day belongs to financial service company The Goldman Sachs Group (GS).  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 4 /23 the stock gained 9.93%.

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:

  • Wall Street analysts issued 16 strong buy, 1 buy and 5 hold recommendations
  • Value Line has the stock rated its highest rating of 1 with a mid-point price target of $540 about a 20% return
  • CFRAs MarketScope has a  4 star buy rating and a price target of $488
  • MorningStar gives the stock an average 3 star rating with a Fair Value of $417
  • Only 200,000 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha

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.
