Sometimes things do not work out. This is one of those times. Rather than succumb to bear pressures this stock decided to go in the opposite direction. It is a good reminder that the EW approach, or the practitioner, is not entirely infallible. At least we got the A-B- part correctly, so in the event that one had played this one aggressively short, the damage would still be minimal (as measured from first blog!); and that assumes that no stops were used.  Now that we are here one must assume that there is either a distorted flat A-B-C on its own, or a triangle, equally ugly. The measurement for the triangle would be around $105. However the trend line is right here and the Mnt. Everest target is at an even $100. Our inclination is to get out or go short again even if demand for aspirins is about to explode.
