Poor Trader, I think that you are spot on about Amazon. Rite Aid has a national presence, clean stores and a distribution system. not sure about the take out price of 8 to 9 but easily could be $7. You could not replace 5K stores for even $7. per share. The goodwill alone of RAD is worth $7. I think that Amazon has lined up some top Pharmacy executives and is ready to make an offer. Amazon would sail thru FTC review. The bottom has been hit , now the speculators will move in a bid up day by day. $ 2.32 is a bargain. I live in Camp Hill, Pa. Rite Aid's corp. headquarters.
