I've heard that private equity firms simply buy distressed companies, bleed them dry, and dump them. Lots of books written about this.

Walgreens has squeezed about maximal efficiency out of their procedures, so what do you do now?

Don't go crying to your local brick and mortar pharmacy when you or your mail order blunders, and you're all out.

Looking at a ten year or longer chart of WBA is not pretty. Reminds me of the Kmart Pharmacist I knew: his retirement plan was all in Kmart stock. A bitter man.
