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 Cheer,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
