Just like a lot of other companies playing this shell game...insiders dump their shares like crazy and the company buys them back,,,Many companies doing the same thing Should be JAIL time for execs doing this!

I don't see "dumping" of shares...I see exercising options....but they can dump all they want for all I care...as long as they grow stock price as they have 34 % in one year....plus increasing the divi as they have.
Look for at least another 22% increase ( to .80 annually) in Dec...and
maybe even more.

While WAG has a better dividend...CVS is up 221% over the last 10 years...while WAG is almost flat with 2% gain. I will stick with CVS
