The Chart of the Day belongs to Markel Corp. (MKL). 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 the technical buy signal of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 5/3 the stock gained 6.25%.
Markel Corporation markets and underwrites specialty insurance products and programs to a variety of niche markets.
