Gilead Sciences (GILD) has sunk to a new low for the move down today. Prices are retesting levels not seen since 2013. I don't know what the fundamental story is but the charts are still lower. We haven't done a review of GILD since July 27 and prices looked weak then. We wrote that, "Consider reducing your long exposure on GILD ahead of earnings." There was a Point and Figure chart of $69 noted.
Let's check it out again as prices are well below that bearish target.
