Tuesday, March 4, we had three Stocks to Watch, two Extra Innings and five Around the Horn subscription trades on our radar. Of these, two were profitable, one was a scratch trade and the rest were no shows.

Nucor Corp (NUE) was Switch Hitter long for Tuesday’s Stocks to Watch trade list. NUE opened and quickly hit our suggested entry level before taking off like a rocket. Exit was on a resistance level and drop from that level for nearly 2 points of profit opportunity.

BB&T Corp (BBT) was an Extra Inning short for Tuesday’s trade list. Entry was on a break below morning consolidation after failed highs. BBT traded quickly lower before reversing. Exit was on the break up from this level.
