Yes, I have been following it, somewhat. I am taking a more active role in our family's trust which owns a chunk of shares, so I may be stopping by a bit more often in the future. I still like the upside, though I worry somewhat about Pessina's age and the duration of his leadership. I still think the last management change was a mistake.

Hey, GLTA.

Today was impressive for a change. Up 3%. WBA's been struggling around $86. Keeps falling back to that level due to it's yield at 1.7% and PE of 21. (virtually the same as CVS btw)

Will take an earnings/div surprise to move shares up.

Isn't she cute? Wealthy Stanford dropout who speaks fluent Chinese! So how come there are no clips of her speaking Chinese??? I've spent three days digging into her background and I'm finding very little that supports some of her claims.

Walgreen's shareholders are less impressed than VC-land with Ms Holmes. Its shares have plummeted lately. I guess we'll soon learn what the Feds turn up.
