(Top Pick Jun 7/16, Down 4.29%) They had a great second quarter. They have high customer intelligence. The company has been around about 100 years and paid a consistent dividend for 77 years. Very high quality book.

On an uptrend. The last 2 peaks are at about the same level, so you have to be aware that it might be consolidating. If you own it, hang on. Keep an eye on that last low, you don't want to see it break. If breaks past last high, it's bullish. Decent chart.
