Heron Therapeutics - Chart of the Day

Heron Therapeutics (HRTX) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The medical drug company has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 191.31+ and gained 276.57% in the last year.

The Chart of the Day is Heron Therapeutics (HRTX).  I found the medical drug stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the Barchart technical buy signals of 80% or better then for a positive Weighted Alpha.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 8/11 the stock gained 16.76%.

Its product portfolio includes APF530, is being developed for the prevention of acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Heron Therapeutics Inc., formerly known as A.P.
