Filed under: PepsiCo (PEP), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Newsletters, Walgreen Co (WAG), Procter and Gamble (PG), Stocks to Buy  "A good source for ???nding stocks that consistently boost their dividends is S&P's High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index," suggests Chuck Carlson.
The editor of The DRIP Investor explains, "Four stocks in that index -- ExxonMobil (XOM), PepsiCo (PEP), Procter & Gamble (PG) and Walgreen (WAG) -- are also long-time residents of our Editor's Portfolio.
"It's estimated that approximately one-third of the S&P 500 Index's total return since 1926 is due to dividends. Thus, dividends...

Walgreen: Is a Bottom in Place?

Filed under: Walgreen Co (WAG), Stocks to Buy  I first wrote about Walgreen (WAG) here on February 17, 2009, at a price of $25.46, and shares of drug store chain giant have totally misbehaved in the past three months, which has raised some caution flags.
Walgreen dipped below $30 on a spat with CVS Caremark (CVS) over reimbursements for drug prescriptions, which, thankfully, was resolved this week, Reuters reported. Terms were not disclosed.

(closed on 03/15/10)
Filed under: Walgreen Co (WAG), CVS Corp (CVS), Stocks to Buy  I'm reiterating my buy ratings the nation's two premier drug store chains: CVS Caremark (CVS), first recommended on February 16, 2009, at a price of $27.30; and Walgreen (WAG), first recommended on February 17, 2009, at a price of $25.46. If you bought CVS in February, you're up 25%; WAG, up about 40%.
<>As expected, each has performed well on increased store traffic stemming from the H1N1 flu virus (trips to purchase hand sanitizers, other disinfecting items, and flu symptom comforts), which has offset reduced traffic for other drug...

Walgreen (WAG) expands the old-fashioned way: carefully

 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...

<>Last week, I shared the background and overall asset allocation for my recently introduced “Conservative Growth/Balanced Model Portfolioâ€. You can refer back to the article or visit my website to learn more. As I stated in the previous article, the equity component of the portfolio is overweight relative to the S&P 500 in the Industrial, Consumer Discretionary and Financial Sectors. I previously shared my basis for taking these exposures. <><><>Last week, I reviewed my selection of an Energy stock, Chevron (CVX) that qualified for inclusion and then my reasons for includi...

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 ...
