A share to keep an eye on, but is it due for a correction?

Security: GILD
Position: Buy

Gilead Sciences Inc. is a research based biopharmaceutical company specializing in research for HIV infection.

The monthly chart in Figure 1 shows an Elliott Wave count suggesting the share price could be due for a correction. The chart suggests that the share price could be completing a Wave 3 of WAVE III after rising logarithmically from August 2010 from $15.61 to its present $68.23. The RSI indicator is at overbought levels, and although it has not given a sell signal yet, it is suggesting that a sell is on the cards sometime in the future, possibly after a WAVE V has been completed.

The daily chart in Figure 2 shows an Elliott Wave count confirming the monthly count. The chart is suggesting that the wave count is in a wave (iii) of Wave iii of Wave V. The RSI is not in an overbought position suggesting that there is still upside.

The chart in Figure 3 is the one that brought the share to my attention. The Vote line on the chart has given a buy signal based on the Red Green strategy Long 6 and Long stop. The Advisor rating is 56, a strong rating, suggesting that you should buy the stock for a short-term profit. The RSI indicator and TDI Jak indicator are suggesting a buy. The upper band of the Internal Band indicator supported the price at $46.79, and with the share price breaking above the Verve Trailing stop, a buy signal is suggesting a target of $50.05, the upper band of the external band.
I would be a buyer of Gilead Sciences, but for a short-term trade. However, on any correction to the lower band of the external band, I would be a buyer for the long-term.
