I made a mistake 2 weeks ago when I bought this stock thinking it was a breaking out from a flag. Fortunately, I only had a tiny position size and only took a small lose.

Latest analyst commentary:
Progressive analyst commentary at MKM Partners Progressive price target raised to $85 from $80 at MKM Partners. MKM Partners analyst Harry Fong raised his price target on Progressive to $85 and kept his Buy rating, citing the 55% increase in its advertising spending disclosed in the company's latest 10-Q filing.
