The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the insurance and financial company American International Group (AIG). I found the sotck by using Barchart to sort the S&P 100 Index stocks first by the highest technical buy signals, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 4/4 the stock gained 13.41%.
