IBCP

The Chart of the Day belongs to the Independent Bank Corp (IBCP).  I found the stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest number of new highs in the last 20 trading session, next for technical buy signals of 80% or more and last I review the charts using the Flipchart feature.   Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/24 the stock gained 5.71%.

Independent Bank Corporation is a bank holding company. Its subsidiary banks principally serve rural and suburban communities located across Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The Banks emphasize service and convenience as a principal means of competing in the delivery of financial services.
