SmarTrend Watching for Potential Pullback in Shares of Rite Aid After 10.96% Gain
Feb 14, 2012 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) --
Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD) traded in a range yesterday that spanned from a low of $1.46 to a high of $1.64. Yesterday, the shares gained 11.0%, which took the trading range above the 3-day high of $1.61 on volume of 21.1 million shares. Often times after large one-day gains, short term traders will seek to take profits and, as such, investors should be cautious.
SmarTrend recommended that subscribers consider buying shares of Rite Aid on October 27th, 2011 as our proprietary SmarTrend analytics indicated a new Uptrend was in progress when shares hit $1.14.
