Look for Shares of SLM to Potentially Pullback after Yesterday's 1.73% Rise
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.
SLM share prices have moved between a 52-week high of $20.13 and a 52-week low of $12.85 and are now trading 54% above that low price at $19.75 per share. Over the past week, the 200-day moving average (MA) has gone up 0.6% while the 50-day MA has advanced 0.8%.
