dilution is selling, and is not defined.
Only naked dilution has to be covered at sometime, commonly known and referred to as a dead cat bounce. That when you know to move on to greener pastures and put the stock behind you.
He is in total denial, doesn't understand dilution
To start a buyback rumor heels of massive dilution undermines his credibility - he is not to be trusted.
The fundamental section of the ibox should be gutted too.
It's a whole new ball game!
the raping of the common via dilution
a much more kinder, gentler, pick pocket.
a little tardi perhaps? CNBC was up to date Monday AM.
But that's actually a rounded figure.
Monday's increase change was 50 million plus.
you can't prove that 68% short number
and not all selling is shorting such as dilution.
Its mostly dilution rather than shorting at this point.
New 52 week lows. terrible!
Take a look at the Distribution indicator, a disaster
Have you factored in the burn rate Tardis?
Then you admit and understand that dilution has played a major role in the share price drop recently. Correct?
So you are in denial then, with eyes closed
Never show your hand ...
or put pressure on the ask.
another rule of thumb from the book.
What's your take on the dilution?
Except for the fact it's helping the shorts?
Amazon does not need Rite Aid's huge debt problem.
dilution has no bottom though
whatever .97
float bloat 10 mil plus remember?
it's not just shorts. dilution!
I understand your frustration as the SP slips
I see you went from ecstatic to tout now being on the defensive as true longs discuss their opinions post deal. No need to call folks shorts. In fact shorting this at these levels would not be wise. One day they will cover unexpectedly. In the mean time bag holders have to bite the bullet as the chart resumes its pattern.
I thought I found a bailout pick
but after further review I see it as a longshot.
Beware the long trap when adding!
another rule of thumb.
shorts, dilution or both .. fueled by a large influx
The time to add is when the stock capitulates
I'm talking about a good 20% drop. News driven , Panic selling.
Dilution has no price and no bottom can be predicted.
Huge volume spikes accompanied by red candles
That what I see here on my chart.
I agree, no $3 by years end.
The company will have to show a profit in their earnings above the current estimate. Only then will traders be confident that they will slow the dilution. I don't see that happening until before the end of March. I will be following this one closely.
Oh, and one other 'rule of thumb' ....
Don't buy a stock based on buyout rumors, hopes etc.
It's at that moment you know things are not going well with the company.
Walgreens saved RAD from BK in my book.
exactly, diluting just like a pink sheet
I got out after the deal announcement.
Remember one "rule of thumb" ....
If a stock sinks on good news ... 'SELL'
If a stock goes up on bad news ... 'BUY'
Just part of the rule of thumb book.
Float updated - huge increase 10 million+
It's just what I had suspected. When it sold off on the day of the good news, about the deal approval, something wasn't right.
Maybe those SP + .005 prints were for dilution. In any case its been a complete disappointment. What a disaster for the common longs.
Shares out now at 1,063,959,990. Will it stop?
a real bailout pick needed
Stay Away! Shorts have a firm grip here.
not mentioning the dilution going on too.
I'm not just wore out, I am out
And I'm beginning to think that some of these pumpers are working for the sellers.
One thing for sure, a lot of buying is being met by .005 prints. Maybe dilution.
so long .. off to greener pastures for now.
Petition the White House on the matter
She won't last long IMO.
We also need to inform them of how these international shorts are ruining America's corporations with their capital dollars.
buy calls before you cover. not after
In fact I think the shorts hammered us yesterday increasing the amount of positions.
RBC out of Canada
lol going to lose their ass on this one.
They must have a large short position.
average down Vinnie.
I think you are putting us on boy.
Nah .. just kicking the idiot hogs.
Also shorts are pushing lower.
These are the same capital funds that own your IRA & 401K.
Wallcheats finest greedy SOB's I might add.
amateur hour is over
hogs have been issued margin calls
shorts will probably grab calls before they cover.
Then maybe we will see green.
just a morning short
Bringing it down in premarket as much as they can to cover later.
Also another attempt at a retail long shake
Deal Announced & Approved!
Walgreens Boots Alliance Secures Regulatory Clearance for Purchase of Stores and Related Assets from Rite Aid
• Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period expires for amended purchase agreement with Rite Aid
• Final transaction includes 1,932 stores and related assets for $4.375 billion in cash
• Store purchases expected to begin in October with completion anticipated in spring 2018
• Walgreens Boots Alliance expects to realize more than $300 million in annual synergies within four years
DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (Nasdaq: WBA) announced today that it has secured regulatory clearance for an amended and restated asset purchase agreement to purchase 1,932 stores, three distribution centers and related inventory from Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) for $4.375 billion in cash and other consideration. The amended and restated purchase agreement between the parties updates the terms of the agreement with Rite Aid announced in June 2017. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of Rite Aid and Walgreens Boots Alliance and is still subject to other customary closing conditions. Store purchases are expected to begin in October, with completion anticipated in spring 2018.
The consideration for the transaction will now be $4.375 billion in cash, the assumption by Walgreens Boots Alliance of the related real estate leases and the grant of the option to Rite Aid, exercisable through May 2019, to become a member of Walgreens Boots Alliance's group purchasing organization, Walgreens Boots Alliance Development GmbH. Walgreens Boots Alliance will also assume certain limited store-related liabilities as part of the new transaction.
"This is a significant moment for our company, and we are excited about the opportunities this agreement will deliver for our customers and patients, employees and investors," said Walgreens Boots Alliance Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Stefano Pessina. "Combining Walgreens retail pharmacy network with a strong portfolio of Rite Aid locations is expected to help us achieve enhanced, sustainable growth while enabling us to broaden our reach and provide greater access to convenient, affordable care in more local neighborhoods across the United States. We are confident in the path ahead and look forward to working together to shape the future of health care and deliver on the full potential these stores bring to our network."
After all stores are acquired, stores are planned to be converted to the Walgreens brand in carefully planned phases over time. The stores to be purchased are located primarily in the Northeast and Southern U.S., and the three distribution centers to be purchased are located in Dayville, Conn., Philadelphia, Pa., and Spartanburg, S.C. The transition of these distribution centers to Walgreens will not begin for at least 12 months.
Due to the expected timing of store purchases under the amended and restated asset purchase agreement, Walgreens Boots Alliance does not expect the transaction to have a significant impact to its adjusted diluted net earnings per share in its fiscal year ending 31 August 2018. The company expects to realize annual synergies from the new transaction of more than $300 million, which are expected to be fully realized within four years of the initial closing of the new transaction and derived primarily from procurement, cost savings and other operational matters.
The amended and restated asset purchase agreement replaces the earlier purchase agreement entered into by the parties in June 2017, which included 2,186 stores and related assets for $5.175 billion in cash and other consideration.

They're all part of the same syndicate.
Although I see that Bloomberg has added more detail to the story now.
It's time to put an end to this charade!
Halt this dog and announce the deal!
already then.
