Recommendation • Recommendation: Hold 1,000 shares • I believe Walgreens will continue to lead their industry and rapidly expand. The demographic changes in America will greatly benefit them, especially over the next 5-10 years as the Baby Boomer generation starts to retire. Over the next 15-20 years, the number of retired persons in America is expected to increase dramatically. All of these factors point to Walgreens having continued success in the short and long term. • Questions?
