The Chart of the Day is RLI Corp (RLI). I found the P&C insurance stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the highest number of new high in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of at least 80%. Next I reviewed the charts using the Flipchart feature. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/17 the stock gained 4.03%.
