One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Monday, shares of PriceSmart Inc (Symbol: PSMT) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 28.5, after changing hands as low as $60.56 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is 61.9.
