Alleghany - Chart of the Day

Alleghany (Y) is the Barchart Chart of the Day  The P&C insurer has a Trend spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 11.10+ and gained 8.48% in the last year.


The Chart of the Day is Alleghany (Y).  I found the P&C insurance stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the most frequent number of new highs in the last month then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  I use the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistency.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 3/1 the stock gained 9.28%.

Alleghany is engaged, through its subsidiaries Chicago Title and Trust Company (``CT&T``), Chicago Title Insurance Company (``CTI``), Security Union Title Insurance Company (``Security Union``) and Ticor Title Insurance Company (``Ticor Title``) and their subsidiaries, in the sale and underwriting of title insurance and in other real estate-related services businesses, and through CT&T's subsidiary, Alleghany Asset Management, Inc. (``Alleghany Asset Management``) and its subsidiaries, in certain other financial services businesses.
