It's trading at a low multiple, around 10x. But the worry is that Amazon will destroy Walgreens' model. What the market is missing is that Walgreens has 13,000 U.S. storefronts close to most of the American population. (CVS, which he
also owns, has 10,000.) The effect is to create a relationship with the patient/consumer so they can interact with a medical professional. Society is getting older, so chronic medical conditions will increase. These folks won't go to the
most expensive places to be served, meaning hospitals and emergency rooms.
Not for long-term investors. They've had problems over the years coping with changes in the auto industry and this change will only continue. Ford doesn't have a plan to create more dominance in their area. They let go of their CEO less than a year ago, not a good sign.

subscription drop. Look at their cash.
(Past Top Pick, August 17, 2017, Up 11%) There's fear out there over the flat yield curve and of course an inverted yield curve. Yes, we are in a low-interest rate environment, but the banks have changed from a decade ago. They can now money on a flat yield curve. In fact, they can make a lot of money just with rising rates, without a rising yield curve. He likes the banks in the U.S. and Canada.
