The NASDAQ-100 index, heavily weighted by the megacap technology companies, has had a brilliant resurgence this year riding fueled by the recent advancements in the artificial intelligence space. The index is up more than 45% year-to-date as of July 31, compared to nearly 38% for the NASDAQ Composite index during the same period.

Several technology stocks listed on the NASDAQ and part of the NASDAQ-100 index have been on a tear this year. Graphics cards maker NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares have more than tripled this year while the share price for Elon Musk’s electrical vehicle company, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has more than doubled.

The index, which represents the 100 largest non-financial stocks listed on the NASDAQ weighted according to market capitalization, has become heavily weighted with megacap technology stocks. The companies with individual weightings exceeding 4.5% saw their combined weights surpassing 48%. This triggered a special rebalancing which came into effect on July 24. As part of the rebalancing, the combined weighting of the stocks with individual weightings exceeding 4.5% has been capped at 40%. This is expected to reduce the influence of few large companies on the performance of the whole index.

Oversold stocks represent an opportunity for savvy investors as the indicators typically show that the shares are trading at prices lower than their value. The prices of a stock can be depressed due to many factors, including macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, political factors such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as company specific factors such as earnings miss or other negative catalysts.

The macroeconomic environment has started to brighten after a long period of bleakness. The latest economic data shows that the United States economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.4% in Q2 2023, nearly a full percentage point more than consensus estimates. Interest rate hikes are also nearing their end with inflation showing better than expected results.

Methodology

For this article, we compiled a list of 10 NASDAQ stocks with the lowest 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) as of July 28. The Relative Strength Index is a technical indicator that tracks momentum changes in stock prices. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it is calculated by determining the mean of gains and losses of a stock in the last 14 days. An RSI above 70 implies that a stock is overbought and below 30 implies that it is oversold. These levels can be adjusted if needed. The stocks in this article are listed in descending order of their RSI.

We only chose the stocks that have market capitalizations of more than $1.0 billion as shares of companies with low market capitalization are susceptible to high volatility.

China’s terrifying internet “Master Key”… and the one microcap that could stop them

Published on December 18, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

In August 2024, news outlets around the world revealed one of the most shocking data breaches in recent history.

Approximately 2.9 billion records, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, financial data and, distressingly, Social Security numbers, were stolen when Coral Springs, Florida, firm National Public Data (NPD) suffered a massive cyberattack. The company confirmed that the breach, which happened in December 2023, resulted in the potential leaks of data in the summer of 2024.

Nearly every day in the news, we hear about yet another damaging data breach or ransomware attack that puts valuable data — including yours — into the hands of hackers. And the number of attacks is soaring — up 30% year over year according to the latest numbers.

As bad as this is, it’s a day at the beach compared to what’s coming.

That’s because hostile nations across the globe — including Iran, North Korea, Russia and Communist China are going all-out to develop a breakthrough technology that will unlock what I call the “Master Key” to the Internet.

If they succeed in harnessing this groundbreaking “Master Key” technology, the consequences could be catastrophic.
