Ok. Place your bets... How high will it go and how quickly will it drop? Where will it land?
People here want you to believe that the SEC is going to shit down the company.
You just can't make this "shut" up...
HA! Now that I am no longer mod and if TRT does not step in you could jump up there and beg to be moved. Tell the powers that be that you rooted out the trouble makers and it is all good now!
Oh I will be on just as much but this being a premium board and all...
Couple more opens like this and I will retire... Got a BUTT load @ 22 and 25. Plus these bad boys pay divis. Fug a penny stock.
WALGREEN CO
(NYSE: WAG)
37.96 Up 3.77 (11.03%)
Walgreen 4Q profit falls, but results top forecast
Walgreen 4th-quarter profit dips, but prescription drugs push sales higher, topping forecast
NEW YORK (AP) -- Drugstore operator Walgreen Co. said Tuesday its fourth-quarter profit fell 2 percent, but prescription drugs drove sales higher and the results topped Wall Street expectations despite high unemployment and a weak economy.
The Deerfield, Ill.-based company earned $436 million, or 44 cents per share, down from profit of $443 million, or 45 cents per share, a year prior. Sales in the quarter ended in August rose 8 percent to $15.7 billion from $14.6 billion. The latest per-share results include 3 cents in costs, offset by 7 cents in savings.
Thomson Reuters says analyst forecast profit of 39 cents per share on revenue of $15.68 billion, on average. In opening trading, Walgreen shares changed hands at $37.87, up $3.68, or 11 percent, from Monday's close.
Same-store sales, or sales at stores open for more than a year, rose 2.4 percent. Walgreen opened its 7,000th store in September and currently runs 7,042 drugstores, a few dozen more than rival CVS Caremark Corp. It also has hundreds of walk-in retail clinics, specialty pharmacies, and work site health centers.
Prescription drug sales rose 4.5 percent in stores open at least a year, while front-end same-store sales fell 1.4 percent.
"We posted solid fourth-quarter results, while continuing to advance one of the most important strategic and operational transformations in our company's history," said President and CEO Greg Wasson, in a statement. "And we've done this while navigating through the most severe economic downturn in decades."
Chief Financial Officer Wade Miquelon said profit margins at pharmacies improved, but those gains were canceled out by weaker sales of other products, greater discounting, and other costs.
The company also said patients who receive 90-day orders of prescription drugs through the mail will also be able to pick up their orders at Walgreen pharmacies. CVS Caremark has a similar program.
For the full year, Walgreen earned $2 billion, or $2.02 per share, down from profit of $2.16 billion, or $2.17 per share, in 2008. Revenue rose to $63.34 billion from $59.03 billion.
The company is looking to save money by cutting back on store openings and carrying fewer products, and boost sales by improving the layout of its stores. Walgreen said it plans to start selling beer and wine at stores over the next year to 18 months, and the company is rolling out its Customer Centric Retailing initiative at 400 stores in Texas.
Wasson said stores that are remodeled under Customer Centric Retailing have better sightlines and are better looking, and the company thinks sales will improve at those locations.
Walgreen expects store growth of 4.5 percent to 5 percent in fiscal 2010, which would give it more than 7,300 stores.
I know, right.
Homeboy got Das Boot! Ahhhhhhh the passion.

Deep.
No bro, I just needed you to know you were a complete moron. Anyone that would defend one of the worst investments of the year the way you do should have themselves committed. You refuse to listen to any anyone other than that little voice in your head. I do my best to help beginners like yourself not become bag holders. All I want is for people to make money trading this dirt. You on the other hand, I want you to invest every dime in this company! I want you to do it tomorrow. I want you to hold it until you are a billionaire. Most of all, I want you to learn about the market the hard way... Just keep buying.
On September 18, 2009, the Company received a formal order of investigation issued by the SEC regarding possible securities laws violations by the Company and/or other persons.

I'm clear on all the dd. I've been here since .02 sometime in May when I first bought in. I've been doing dd and building a larger position as funds allow me to. I've already made money here with just one sell shortly after black Friday at .15 but maintained my core position even after that aweful day.

Hey guys, I have been mulling it over and I have decided not to renew my subscription. I need to hand over the admin of this board to someone so are there any volunteers? I guess in another 5 days I will not even have access to it
Hah! Looks like someone is going for phase two. I talked myself out of buying that thing 10 days in a row... ANY one of those purchases would have made me money. Classic. I got about 20 "I guess you were right" PMs on that one. Of course after they cursed me and called me a dumbass. You know, it was the real deal after all.
Well, I stand by the idiot remark, but he has been going after them for a while in his blog but not nearly as long as we have
Excellent!

THE SEC IS INVESTIGATING THE SHORT SITUATION NOT SPNG. I WILL BE LOADING UP ON SHARES TOMORROW.
WOW! You must be very excited to get these @ .079 just two days later! I mean heck, if .104 was a bargain... You should certainly load the boat at these prices.
.079 DAMN Eric!
I can't imagine your excitement! You are getting a fantastic deal now. Wow, you better load the boat at these prices. I think you should borrow money from everyone in your family to jump in here!!! They will all be rich in no time!
HA! I have been getting beat on for over a year for calling this thing a POS. Nobody however deserves to loose money in the market. Hopefully all the longs can trade this, take some profit, and see what is left when the dust clears. A nice little RM and they are back in business. Make more money on the rinse and repeat.
It was a link off of one blogs about spng. Not sykes', he is a moron, but one of the other ones. I was just snooping around and found it. I don't remember... sorry.
Pretty good read...
http://investigatethesec.com/drupal-5.5/files/September%209.pdf
Well, it has been a while since I visited. How are things? Ohhhhh... Ahhhhhh.... Hmmmmmmm.... Dang, maybe he meant summer 2010. I will check back!
"BZTG will be the June stock of the summer. Divy and shareholders on record date set for June 30th. Promo to start shortly.
Put this one on your radar folks.
Thank me in August.
Lowe6er"
Yeah, check it out... Do some business with them. Been going since Jul 08. No business contact info what so ever. Yet they are responsible for much of SPNG's early business. Hmmmmm....

iS IT BAD FOR THE SHAREHOLDER OR THE SHORTER IF A STOCK IS ON THE SHO? I DONT UNDERSTAN THE SHO IF YOU DONT MIND SCHOOLING ME?
I just love that no matter what happens they are able to spin it to a good thing. Another 100 posts today about how shorty is toast. It will be down in the pinks in a couple of weeks, no K, no Q, etc... and again this will be good news. It is astounding.
I have the odds on the board right now @ 4.5 to 1 they will end up pink. No way they get the K out by the 15th.
They would have to be pretty frigging desperate...
lol... that is much nicer than I would put it. I have to stop though, I will end up in the pokey. I am needling one of them over on the parking lot. We will see if he/she shows up to take their medicine.

I PICKED UP A BUNCH AT .104. I THINK IT WILL GO UP 20 TO 30 PERCENT TODAY.
Oooops.
Hey, you know what, if this POS looked good at .104 then it has to look GREAT at .089! Don't worry about that 15% haircut you just took. You should take down the Dale Earnhartd collector plates, sell them, and invest that $34... Wicked skills there bozo.
Ok... My new favorite post. This guy is attacking bashers but right in the message he calls the stock POSs... Are ya kidding me?

No idea. Little critter cracked me up though.
Ouch.
That CANNOT be good... Sounds like they may be firing up the ole printing presses soon.
LOL.... thanks but what I want to say will just get you banned also. I am pulling the cockmonkeys over to the parking lot to yell at them anyway.
I do so wish I could post there...
