The best part of the stock market is that it’s sometimes quite inefficient. If you can identify the errors, you’ll be able to create opportunities for high returns. Oversold stocks are often caused because of emotion and over-excitement of traders. In fact, emotion is what causes many inefficiencies in the stock market. When investors are making decisions based on emotion instead of knowledge they create opportunities for other traders.
Recently, a number of stocks entered into oversold territory. An oversold stock is defined by Investopedia as, “A condition in which the price of an underlying asset has fallen sharply, and to a level below which its true value resides.
