Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA)

milo, I think the Q2 numbers are probably safe since 2 of the 3 months had strong flu shot numbers and the margins there are superior to average Rx returns. If there is going to be a problem, I'd be looking toward Q3 & Q4.

It's all a crapshoot until the Alliance-Boots deal gains some clarity, good or bad.

Had to pay off on my bet, which I lost. Wasson & Co. are all still there. No losers, though. Great bottle of wine. Ate at Flemings instead of Mortons and was glad we did... much better than either Morton's or Ruth's Chris (with all due apologies to my former friend Arnie Morton). Hey, wickedone, did you ever eat at Gene Sage's In Chicago? I loved that place. I was a charter member of their "Cloak & Dagger Club" when my dad took me there as a teenager and I ate there for years, interspersed with Gene & Georgetti, The Chop House, The Butcher Shop, Lawry's, Eli's, and, of course, Hy's of Canada which was only eclipsed by their prime steakhouse in Calgary/Alberta.

GLTA,
