Still holding even tho I don't like shopping at WBA. I've been very negative on retail stocks for the past decade (and that prejudice has greatly helped my portfolio), but people are increasingly using pharmacies as quickie medical clinics. My one experience with a Walgreens' nurse was very positive. I prefer to think of Walgreens as a medical stock, not a retailing stock.

Yeah, I know history hasn't been kind to stocks that are added to the Dow, and leaving the Dow is often beneficial to them.
