Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA)

[big-yank]

Milo, I think that your recollection is correct... Rein was "The Artfull Dodger" of conference calls... by the way, did you ever see my mock interview between Rein and CNBC's Maria Bartiromo on the Yahoo message board? It was a CLASSIC! Of course, it was deleted as were most other posts with any pith, content or relevent sense of humor.

I still believe that a move as huge as Alliance/Boots must be fully explained if investors are to believe in future trading prospects. Then, again, I am fairly Old School in my thinking...

I traded out of 2/3 of my equities, today, and will be in cash for the foreseeable future until the election concludes and I have a sense of how the fiscal cliff will be addressed. My 401K holdings are almost totally in overseas funds or small and midcap holdings and out of S&P and Dow equities.

Hate to be a scaredy cat, but I grow more risk averse as my age nears the threshold of mandatory cash-out.

GLTA,

Yank
