The Chart of the Day is Axis Capital (NYSE:AXS). I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks with the highest technical buy signals, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 5/6 the stock gained 3.90%.
AXIS Capital Holdings Limited is a Bermuda-based global provider of specialty lines insurance and treaty reinsurance.
