SLM Rises 1.73% on Heavy Volume: Watch For Potential Pullback

Mar 12, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- SLM (NYSE:SLM) traded in a range yesterday that spanned from a low of $19.21 to a high of $19.79. Yesterday, the shares gained 1.7%, which took the trading range above the 3-day high of $19.67 on volume of 4.6 million shares. Often times after large one-day gains, short term traders will seek to take profits and, as such, investors should be cautious.
