Walgreen Co. — the Cure for Ailing Portfolios


Walgreen Co. (WAG) — This operator of a large chain of drugstores fell from a high of $51 in 2006 to below $22 in March of this year.

But since March, WAG has rallied on strong volume forming a “V” bottom before comfortably breaking through its 200-day moving average at a double top.

The trading target for WAG is $36 but long-term buyers may want to position this high-quality retail stock in their portfolio, too.
