Might concerns over WMT generics be overblown? If CVS new release is accurate, this is a mole hill of a mountain, despite the remarks attributed to Walgreen brass today. Walgreen is expanding strategically and ranks as one of the highest quality co...

"Oh no, Wal-Mart's going to put all other pharmacies out of business!" No they're not, and even if they did, Walgreen's sells a lot more than just prescription drugs. The market over-reacted, and I'm right here to scoop up a bargain.

Yes, it seems as if Walgreen is past it's big expansion phase. Is it like Walmart or Starbucks where it seems like there is a store on every block? Well, I don't think Walgreen is at that point yet. Yes, they are abundant, but I still see plenty of r...

You've got to be kidding me. This is the easiest pick there could be (if I weren't so damned greedy and wanted 25%+ returns!!! :) )
Solid, solid, solid. If the whole market tanks, this will too. Otherwise, people are going to get older=on m...

Christmas is coming and I know I want to get Scotch tape in the middle of the night. Guess where I'm heading to? Besides, does anyone see the RedBox DVD kiosk inside the Walgreen store? (wink, wink)

Walgreens is trading at a very low PE ratio. Given its consistent and remarkable earnings over the last, I don't know 30+ years it is very attractive right now. Has about 0 LT debt on B/S has managed to grow almost completely organically (unlike CV...

Walgreen's growth story is incredible. They are opening a new store per day and comps are up. The stock is richly valued, but the growth will match it over the longer term.

The recent earnings report shows that Walgreen continues to grow and improve margins. The Walmart generic drug pricing is not expected to have a significant effect on earnings, yet the WAG stock price has not recovered. The stock is still on sale.
