Today’s Featured Stock:

Valued at $122 billion, Toronto Dominion (TD) is a Canadian chartered bank that offers a wide range of business and consumer services. These services include checking and savings accounts, credit cards, mortgage and student loans, trusts, wills, estate planning, investment management services, and financial and advisory services. 

What I’m Watching:

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. TD checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on April 21, the stock has gained 16.29%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Toronto Dominion:

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.

It looks like not only Wall Street analysts, but also many of the popular investing advisory services, are moderately bullish on this stock.

The Bottom Line:

Toronto Dominion currently has momentum and support from both the market and individual investors.

I caution that TD is volatile and speculative — use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies.
