Wallgreens-Valeant Deal a gift from Heaven In essance they will take a hit in the 4th quarter and from then on the money will pore in as Wallgreens sells their products. Its a gravy train from here on out. Smart move I would say. Also Ackerman may know that in the long run Valeant may or could merge with Wallgreens. What a powerhouse that would make. Before that happens , some other large company may take out Valeant or Valeant may break up the company. Its a WIN WIN WIN no matter how you cut it. For the shorts the smoke is clearing and they better get out of Dodge City.
