Barchart.com's Chart of the Day - Aflac

For Apr 29, 2017

The Chart of the Day belongs to Aflac (AFL).  I found the health & life 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.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/14 the stock gained 5.41%.

AFLAC Inc. is a general business holding company and acts as a management company, overseeing the operations of its subsidiaries by providing management services and making capital available. Its primary business is supplemental health and life insurance, which is marketed and administered primarily through its subsidiary, American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus.
