Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA)

Remember that this all began as in administrative action back in April with 6 Walgreens stores being probed in a non-criminal action by the DEA. It just seems to keep escalating. It would be prudent IMHO for Walgreens to attempt to resolve this matter before it rises to a catastrophic height for shareholders and life, as Walgreens stores have known it, is forever altered. It is not impossible that perceived corporate intransigence in Deerfield might lead the DEA to an extreme conclusion that all Walgreens must be considered a hazard to their communities and, thus, be enjoined from selling or carrying any opiate-derivative medications in their retail pharmacies... or even via mailorder.

I am not trying to be dramatic, nor am I predicting that the DEA will take such actions... I am simply stating that there is risk in the air as WAG Corporate conducts its usual sabre-rattling exercise when governmental agencies affront their enormous egos. One of these days someone is going to call their bluff and maybe this is that time in history.

GLTA,
