BAT dropped by RM1.64 to RM59.80 yesterday. The stock has lost RM5.00 or 7.7% over the past 8 days. It has now broken below the psychological RM60 mark and the 20-week EMA line at RM60.38. Its next support would be the uptrend line at RM57 (coinciding with the 40-week EMA line at RM57.17). It is interesting to note that today is the last cum date for the entitlement of a dividend of 65 sen. Would the dividend be enticing enough to get investors to buy the stock today? Has BAT hit a double-top reversal, with more downside to come? Only time will tell.

Hi charles leong
Taking profit is always a good policy in this 'trading' market.
Hi Cheer,
I can't get to the first link. If the question is about SOX index, my take is that that index is still in a long uptrend. It is not strong but the underlying technical support is present. So, I feel that semicon stocks like Unisem & MPI could be good for slow accumulation or at least a HOLD.
