5 Toxic Tech Stocks You Should Sell in March
KT
Last up is South Korean telco KT (KT), a stock that looks a lot like the setup in Taiwan Semiconductor, albeit more developed. Like TSM, KT had been in an uptrend for much of the final two quarter of 2012, only to see its uptrend support line get broken back in December. Once that happened, sellers were definitively in control of shares.
And barring a bull trap back in January, this stock has continued to trade predictably within its new downtrending channel. If you're looking for an opportunity to sell, now looks pretty good - shares are just coming off of a bounce off of trendline resistance, which means that they've got the furthest to move down the channel before catching a bid.
Here again, momentum adds some extra confirmation to this downside trade. RSI has been in a well-defined downtrend since well before KT's price broke down, and until that RSI trendline gets broken, it's unlikely we'll see the downtrend in shares unwind. If you're looking for an opportunity to jump into large-cap Asian names after the drama still unfolding in the Korean Peninsula plays out, one look at this chart reminds us that it's clearly far too early to be a buyer here.
