The Chart of the Day is The Travelers Companies (TRV). I found the P&C insurance stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the most frequent new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or better. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/22 the stock gained 6.14%.
