WAG: Bull or Bear?
Walgreen (WAG) expands the old-fashioned way: carefully
WAG
+13.66%
in
137 days
 Yes, you could call this a selective market: select the wrong stock, and there's a 30-40% haircut up ahead; select the correct stock, and you're positioned for the U.S. recovery with modest downside exposure.
Hence, the premium is on defensive plays, and Walgreen (NYSE: WAG) qualifies.
Consider Walgreen 'the defensive's defensive' because not only is it in a conservative sector (drug stores), Walgreen has resisted the urge to grow by acquisition. Instead, WAG has focused on the old-fashioned method of growth by opening new stores, and other methods (large penetrations into new markets, relo...

Dykstra's Deep-in-the-Money Call: Walgreen

4/28 - "Walgreen is a solid play. The company beat Wall Street's earnings expectations a month ago when it announced its fiscal second-quarter results. Its sales jumped more than 10% from the year-ago period.
The company said on Friday it completed its tender offer for I-trax(DMX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), which it acquired for $5.40 a share. The move is part of Walgreen's plan to build a new health and wellness unit. Furthermore, I like Walgreen's potential. With an aging population and the company's business of selling prescription drugs, I like its chances.
Therefore, I am placing ...

Walgreen Company (WAG)
WAG
-35.52%
in
784 days
The stock has developed significant negative divergences of both MACD and the money flow.
On 23 March the big down candle is influencing negatively the stock trend. That is a major resistance now. After a long and tight congestion, prices have accelerated to the downside and presently are developing what could be a flag within the last down candle. In the short term the objective is the retest of the recent low at $43-$43.50. This support is quite important. next is at $40. The stop loss is above the $46 level. The risk reward is not so exciting though.

Walgreens was founded in 1901--that should tell you something right there. Shares have taken a beating after Wal-mart announced its perscription plan (Fall '06), and invesotrs are watching the company closely. Although WAG reaps 60% of its profits through prescription sales, a strong growth history indicates that WAG will remain a viable player in the prescription industry. On an additional note, WAG outpreformed Intel over the past 25 years and projects to double retail locations to 6000 stores by 2010.
