Centene - All Time High --

The Chart of the Day belongs to Centene (CNC). I found the stock by using Barchart to sort today's 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 5/20 the stock gained 9.68%.

Centene Corporation provides managed care programs and related services to individuals receiving benefits under Medicaid, including Supplemental Security Income, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
