Aflac Inc. (AFL) — This supplemental life and health insurance company rose to more than $62 in September but became the victim of a massive sell-off in the financial group, which took the stock to under $11 in March.
But since January, AFL has been consolidating within a “W” or “cup-and-handle” bottom.
On Friday, it broke from the formation with a trading target of $40. But because it was up more than $4 on Thursday, buyers would be wise to wait for a shallow pullback and place limit orders to buy below Thursday’s closing price.
