The Chart of the Day is Validus Holdings (VR). I found the stock at the top of the New High List when I sorted for frequency. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/10 the stock is up 9.52%. The yield of 3.07 and low P/E of 11.08 is attractive.
It is a global provider of short-tail lines of reinsurance including property catastrophe, property pro-rata and property per risk, marine and energy, and other specialty lines. Validus was formed in December following the significant natural catastrophes of 2005 with an experienced management team and an unencumbered capital base of approximately $1 billion.
