Look for Shares of BB&T to Potentially Pullback after Yesterday's 1.47% Rise
Mar 07, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) --
BB&T (NYSE:BBT) traded in a range yesterday that spanned from a low of $30.70 to a high of $31.33. Yesterday, the shares gained 1.5%, which took the trading range above the 3-day high of $31.25 on volume of 5.0 million shares. Often times after large one-day gains, short term traders will seek to take profits and, as such, investors should be cautious.
