Buy low and sell high. It's easy to understand, but it's a strategy that can be difficult to execute for even the most disciplined investor. And let's face it, if it were easy, everybody would do it.
One of the issues is knowing when to buy and when to sell. That's where technical analysis can be helpful. One indicator that many investors are familiar with is the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI). This can help investors determine a stock's buying or selling momentum.
When a stock starts to move higher, other buyers tend to pile in. And when that buying gets mixed with some fear of missing out (FOMO), the stock gets overbought. That's when short sellers start to jump in.
Conversely, when a stock starts to move lower, many investors are filled with fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) and begin to sell. That's when a quality stock can get oversold, and patient buyers grab the discounted shares.
Typically, a reading under 30 indicates a stock is oversold. In this special presentation, we highlight seven stocks with an RSI reading at or near 30 as of April 2024. Keep in mind this is an indicator that can move in either direction very quickly.
