The Chart of the Day is Legg Mason (LM).  I found the stock by sorting the New High List for frequency in the last month and skipped over the stock without positive gains for the last week and month.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled another buy signal on 12/9 the stock is up 9.15%.
It is a holding company which, through its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in providing asset management, securities brokerage,investment banking and related financial services to individuals,institutions, corporations and municipalities.
