Walgreens CEO Retires
WAG

|
|
+60.78%
in
395 days
The previous Walgreens CEO left based on the grounds that he did not like the direction that the new management is heading. From this, I feel that WAG is not a good investment to seek returns on in the short race. Buying long-term is profitable at a target price of $19/share.

More on Unemployment Duration – Analyst Blog
|
|
|
While I touched on unemployment duration at the end of my last blog, this is a very important subject and deserves a bit more elaboration. Quite simply being out of work for three or four weeks is a very different experience with very different economic implications than being out of work for six months to a year or more. The focus on the total number of unemployed obscures that reality. The thing that makes this recession so much different than the ones that have gone before it is how long people are staying out of work once they become unemployed. Yeah if you get laid off for a few weeks,...

Results for this series, which tracks data for stores open at least a year from 30 major retailers, had come ahead of expectations the last two months.
As a result of the financial crisis last fall, conditions were extremely bad in October of last year, when retail sales were down 4.1%.
October is typically a weak month for retailers, sandwiched as it is between the active shopping peri...

Walgreen worries about public option…
 With the news yesterday that some form of the public option for healthcare appears to be moving forward, we can probably expect more companies to start including warnings like Walgreen (WAG) did in the 10-K it filed yesterday:
<><>The Federal government has been considering proposals to reform the U.S. health care system. These proposals may increase government involvement in health care, increase regulation of pharmacy services, result in changes to pharmacy reimbursement rates, and otherwise change the way we do business. The effect of these proposals could have an impact on our results of ope...
