Boards are useless these days, pack them with your CEO buddies, until the activist investors get on and fire them all i.e. CVS Health, Darden, Hertz
Bers are the reason why feminine hygiene products are locked up at CVS.
I have a feeling Mastercard is going to warn about credit delinquencies and/or McDonald's is going to report lower international sales and rising costs and/or Eli Lilly or CVS is going to have had a shitty quarter or lower guidance and then jobs and the manufacturing/construction numbers will be even worse than expected, and/or 🥭 tweet, and we tank at least back into the 540s tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Well after the usual bourbon & cocaine breakfast Imma be hoping my CVS calls don't get gapped. It's been a rough week. 
I want to see CVS -15% please please
I need CVS to go down -10%+ tomorrow

Most big successful companies are doing something evil so it's kind of a spectrum based on your personal ethics/politics of what is worst. E.g. Are tobacco companies worse than soda companies or fast food companies, or is it all the same level of bad to you. If I were to make an index of evil, I'd include CVS/UNH type companies (delay deny depose etc), the tobacco companies, the war machine companies, the worst polluters to climate change / conflict minerals, the private prisons. That's probably a solid start of companies that can connect their profits to increased human misery or death in a straight line.
It'll be good news if you want to buy weed at the pharmacy at CVS. They'll sell it off the rights to corporations in exchange they'll track you and add you to the undesirables list.
( ◠‿◠ ) The DEA may move cannabis to Schedule 3, which would open the door for FDA research and let pharmacies like Walgreens, Costco, or CVS offer it with insurance coverage—patients could use a co-pay just like with regular prescriptions.
Shelves already empty of paper products at my local CVS
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The DEA might reclassify cannabis to schedule-3 which would the FDA to study it for medical purposes and allow insurance companies to help patients obtain medical cannabis at a pharmacy such as “Walgreens, Costco, or CVS” with the use of a co-pay similar to any other medication.
So in a couple of weeks when people are ganking each other over the last can of pinto beans at the CVS that's Biden's fault. Roger that...

Anyone think that CVS could be a good short on upcoming earnings .... I know that Arkansas is a small state and all but with them passing House Bill 1150 two weeks ago this is potentially the first major step in reigning in national operations and business models of PBMs ... looks like CVS stock really wasn't down much on that news which makes sense since they only operate like a couple of dozen pharmacies in Arkansas but the bill could be adding a bunch of top down pressure with the potential for a domino effect starting here..... could see earnings being a major liquidity event if they don't perform exceedingly well.
Nothing out of the ordinary. My neighborhood CVS has looked like a going out of business sale for over a year. All else normal for now.

Not really. I think the amount that does work for 7.25 is around 1%, maybe less. You can get an entey level job at CVS or Mcdonalds and make a relatively much higher wage over minimum wage.
Bro’s pic longer than a CVS receipt 
My fellow put holders I’m holding a food banquet at my place (CVS pharmacy drive thru but only after 6pm) be sure to bring lots of food and load them in my 89 civic. Xoxo
Prices on food is actually really not much of a difference between Target and Walmart, could just be a geographical market difference, who knows. That being said, both of them in my area have absolutely terrible issues with stock levels, not just one location but all of them. Walmart has been much worse off than Target in that area. Again geographic probably play a huge role in not just pricing but also stock levels. But I guess they all look great if you compare it to a Rite-aid, CVS, or a Walgreens.
Yeah the "metro Target" or basically Target-branded CVS shit has been a flop
Both my weekly puts broke and closed below their 50 and I’m still nervous that I held overnight. (T & CVS)
In actual business, it's super embarrassing to have a new hire you vouched for not turn out well. I still cringe at the friend I thought was very smart and how he got fired from a fucking CVS in like 3 weeks because he couldn't do basic tasks.
Didn’t CVS stop selling squares like a decade ago
I still see packs of them on the back shelf at CVS.
I was in my neighborhood CVS this weekend. The number of empty bins was stunning, from soap to dental floss to toothbrushes to deodorant. I don’t know ether tariff played a part, but I have never seen stocking that bad.
I am actually thinking about going long on CVS and HUM as a result, not short. These companies drilled because of UNH and the dip was immediately bought. The UNH headwinds aren't going to necessarily impact these companies. I think it's a buying opportunity, personally. I want to get some options on HUM but they don't seem appropriately priced so I might sell some CSPs on them.

Reported crimes may not be up statistically but you just need to walk in a CVS and see how much is locked up to know we live in tough times for people. If you can’t see the erosion of the middle class you need to open your eyes more,

True story: Walt Frazier, Knicks legend and announcer is famous for his bold suits. He always pimps Mohan’s Custom Tailor. So I went there and the suits were made from scratch and ended up costing no more than Indochino or Jos A Banks. Family owned for like 40 years. Started by the dad and now the son works with him. I worry about losing those places and getting the 500th bank or CVS in 10 blocks. NYC is getting too expensive to be interesting anymore.

Walgreens would go down if it wasn't being bought, their business is being recked by pharmacy benefit managers, CVS has its own so that's why they are doing a bit better, but Walgreens is not in a good position
Kaiser would run the actual clinic while CVS runs the pharmacy.
Kaiser's web site - [https://kptargetclinic.org/locations/](https://kptargetclinic.org/locations/) \- says that they are currently only managing clinics in California but CVS still runs the pharmacies.
Https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kaiser-permanente-and-target-to-open-31-more-retail-clinics-in-southern-california-300519499.html I read the article and it looks like Kaiser HMO will be available at Target pharmacies but CVS is still running the show. Or am I reading that wrong? Quote: MinuteClinic, the retail medical clinic of CVS Health, has been providing administrative services to Kaiser Permanente in support of its four existing Target Clinics. MinuteClinic will provide the same services to the new Target Clinics when they open to patients. After a clinic visit, eligible Kaiser Permanente members will be able to receive a one-time fill at the CVS Pharmacy co-located to the Target Clinic.
Is this new? I thought Kaiser was taking over the Target Clinics, while pharmacy services are still with CVS.
Look at any of the empty shelves in a CVS. Now, imagine a Walmart sign in the door.
I bought CVS puts for May 30 at $56. It was at 55$ in Feb and i can only assume pharmaceutical tariffs + consumer good tariffs will sink it further once announced / set in
CVS puts a month out dont miss this one. they haven't dropped it yet.
As of April 2025, CVS Health (CVS) has the best return rate among large-cap companies, with a performance of 50.9% year-to-date
No. Trump has already announced he's going to put tariffs on pharmaceuticals. you know which companies have been doing well during this whole tariff BS? Pharmas, CVS, etc. He finds the next sector that's doing well, announces tariffs so folks sell off in a frenzy, tanks it, then he lets his inner circle know when he's going to reneg the tariffs so they can all buy at the bottom and get a boost after he announces. He's not going to stop this pump-n-dump scheme, b/c it keeps working. If you had a money printing machine, would you stop it running 24/7? That's how he views tariffs. He can threaten folks in a protection racket way to cut deals, and he can tank sectors of the markets to buy in and pump-n-dump. We have 4 years of this... at least... to go.
Thinking about going full port CVS the moment this all drops again
This probably won’t change prices for consumers. Drug prices will rise, but reimbursemnt from PBMs will stay the same. (Patient will have same copay) You’ll see the pharmacies getting squeezed from this, especially local independent pharmacies. They’ll lose money on a large percentage of claims. This will not be sustainable for them. It’s already a major issue. We’ve seen Walgreens go private for 10b when they were worth 100b 10 years ago? CVS will have staying paying because the own their own PBM.
Get puts on Walgreens and CVS since pharmaceuticals are about to be tariffed for no reason
Medicare Advantage companies are getting a 5% increase in revenue per patient for 2026. You can tell which of these companies really needed this lifeline by looking at the company’s MCR (basically what % of money given to them is spent on patient) excluding overhead. CVS( Aetna) was the worst of all Medicare advantage companies for 2024 with an MLR of almost 95.%
That's almost as long as a CVS receipt.
Ever see a 'weight loss spa clinic'? They buy 99% pure 'research grade' weight loss drug molecules 'not for human consumption' from China for a fraction of the cost. Thing is they are grey market and aren't exactly sending sign spinners outside of Eli Lilly and CVS letting people know you can buy the same thing down the road for a fraction of the cost. Once they start being more forward with it, there is no reason they wouldn't capture 99% of the non-US markets.
Is CVS still a recession play? its up 50% this year
CVS is down 2.1% from the 3rd... bwhahaha; earnings an guidance on he 2nd I'm sure they will only go up!
sold my CVS shares today for a gain of 21% will buy back during the after inevitable dip tomorrow
There is 334 Walmart stores in China that could be a problem for the company. China could retailate either by the China government or China consumer behavior. The majority of Walmart stores are in United States. The trend in retail stores in general has been closing all across the United States. Due to retail sales being pushed online from retailers like Amazon etc for the past 20 some years. 2024, several retailers closed stores, with notable closures including those by Family Dollar, CVS Health, Big Lots, Conn's, rue21, 7-Eleven, Rite Aid, and 99 Cents Only Stores. Here's a more detailed look at some of the retailers that closed stores in 2024: Family Dollar: Closed 677 locations. CVS Health: Closed 586 locations. Big Lots: Closed 580 locations. Conn's: Closed 553 locations. rue21: Closed 543 locations. 7-Eleven: Closed 492 locations. Rite Aid: Closed 408 locations. 99 Cents Only Stores: Closed 371 locations. Walgreens: Announced closing 1,200 stores, with some 500 of those closures set for the 2025 financial year. Macy's: Identified 66 stores across 22 states that will close this year, the first of 150 locations that the retailer plans to shutter through 2026. Advance Auto Parts: Announced closing more than 700 locations. JOANN Inc.: Filed for bankruptcy. American Freight: Closed all 328 of its locations after its parent company, Franchise Group Inc., filed for bankruptcy. People are now boycotting Target Stores. I came with the receipts. To say Walmart is immune from Tarriffs and economic boycotts is either totally naive.
It's like he thinks tweeting is that same as leaving a message on CVS website or something lmao

I conceptually agree, but health food stores are simply unaffordable. I hate that we have to pay anymore absurd premium for health food. Like at Sprouts, a chicken is $10/lb. And thats before tarriffs. We ask people to not buy cheap clothes, but we aren't given assurances that more expensive clothing is ethically made. And how do we boycott visa? What gas station should we go to? Name one ethical oil company? And who is worse, CVS or Walgreens? "Choice between products is an illusion" - George Carlin.
Picture this: Trump, in full showman mode, announces the capture of a brutal cartel leader—let’s call him “El Violeta,” decked out in garish purple gear, scars from a life of running drugs and bodies across the border. He’s pitted against a rival mob boss, say “The Crimson Don,” a hulking figure with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt—both known for violence that’d make a horror flick blush. The arena’s packed, a roaring crowd under floodlights, PPV cameras zooming in as these two get tossed into a pit with nothing but makeshift weapons. Trump’s up in the VIP box, grinning, maybe tweeting live odds. The fight’s a mess—blood, sweat, and whatever else splatters the sand. El Violeta’s got a machete he’s wielded a hundred times; Crimson Don’s swinging a chain like it’s an extension of his arm. It’s raw, chaotic, and over-the-top—think Mad Max meets WrestleMania. The revenue’s pouring in—$49.99 a pop, millions watching worldwide, ads for energy drinks and tactical gear flashing between rounds. Commentators are losing their minds, calling it “justice served hot.” In this imagined world, Congress somehow signed off—passed a “Violent Alien Combat Act” or something equally unhinged, funded by a mix of PPV profits and seized cartel cash. Legal hurdles got steamrolled, human rights groups are screaming, but the public’s hooked. Trump’s playing it up, claiming it’s deterrence: “Cross the border, face the arena.” Whether it’d actually work—or just turn into a global PR disaster—is anyone’s guess. But damn, it’d be one hell of a show.
top ytd S&P500 performer is CVS CVS is returning 50% YTD, and the rest of the index is burning

🤣🤣Sure no problem, here’s the text only article I Quit Google Search for AI—and I’m Not Going Back Ads and search-optimized junk made a mess of the go-to engine. Now ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude—and even Google’s own AI—do it better. Somewhere out there, Jeeves is raising his teacup to the AI revolution. The tuxedoed internet butler of the late ’90s couldn’t really answer every question, but now? That’s the entry-level gig of generative-AI chatbots. Jeeves is smiling in retirement. Google’s starting to wonder about its job security. Over the past month, I quit Google Search. I set the search bars on my iPhone and laptop to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and out popped clear, human-sounding answers to my questions. I’ve also tested Perplexity, Anthropic’s Claude and, yes, even Gemini—from Google, the original architect of the search hell we’ve been trapped in for years. As Google grew to capture 90% of global search, googling became an Olympic sport of dodging SEO sludge, sponsored links and clickbait. When I ask it how much the iPhone 16 Pro costs, I have to scroll past four sponsored links, a carousel with product ads showing monthly payment plans and a block of “People Also Ask” questions. With AI chatbots, it really is like having that personal search butler. ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity have real-time web access, generating responses with citations to external websites. Just last week, Anthropic’s Claude joined the club. And Google’s testing an AI Mode built into search. Just because they always answer doesn’t mean it’s always the best answer (though they’re getting better). And I still have one existential concern: When AI summarizes stuff from the internet, it threatens people like me who actually write that stuff. Let’s break it down. When AI is better I tried to list all the places AI search beats old-school search. Shopping. People. Recipes. How-tos. Movie recommendations. Places to stream said recommended movie. The rundown was longer than a CVS receipt. Is AI search the death of blue links? I say it’s more makeover than funeral. Yes, these bots spare us from the clickthrough marathon. But if they are good at grabbing useful information from the web, you get links you’ll actually want to click. For instance, I asked all of the chatbots the same crucial parenting question: What 3-D printer—under $500—should I buy my 7-year-old? ChatGPT returned a list of five, each with a short write-up, image and a link to the source. • Claude gave me four options with multiple links, including to tech site Tom’s Hardware and the personal blog of a 3-D printer reviewer. • Perplexity had the best visual display, showcasing images linked to top picks, followed by a comparison chart breaking down prices and features of three. • Copilot provided two options with links—and offered to track the prices. • Gemini 2.0 Flash, Google’s base, free model, listed top picks but without citations or links. In the new experimental AI Mode, which appears as a tab on Google.com alongside Images and News, I got the same list of three—but with more detail and proper link citations. Old-school Google Search was exactly what you’d expect: sponsored links, promoted products, links to Best Buy, Amazon, YouTube videos. It took several clicks to even get a baseline of credible options. And if you think I’m picking on Google, Bing was just as bad. (Spoiler: The most recommended 3-D printer was from Toybox.) I’m not the only one to see the bot-shopping benefit. Last month, traffic from generative AI to U.S. retail sites increased by 1,200% compared with July 2024, according to Adobe. More than half of U.S. shoppers plan to use generative AI for shopping in the next year. For some searches—like when is the first day of spring, or the airtime of the “Severance” finale—the bot’s first answer is all I need. For others, like digging into someone’s bio or understanding lower-back pain, I skim and click to the source material. Plus, while AI hallucinations have lessened, there are still times it gets things very wrong. If your search is important, always hit the links to fact-check. When Google is better Here’s an easier list to draw up: what Google Search is still good for. For starters, links to any webpage you already know exists. Adam Scott’s IMDb page? Bob from accounting’s LinkedIn? A story you vaguely remember calling “Bluey” a juggernaut? Google’s still your go-to. And while AI tools can recommend local restaurants and shopping, Google still excels at showing you accurate maps, addresses and hours. Even Google knows AI is the future of search—just look at its 10,000 AI-flavored products. There’s AI Overview summaries at the top of many results, the stand-alone Gemini chatbot and that new experimental AI Mode that combines search results with Gemini responses. I asked Robby Stein, Google’s vice president of product for Search, why there are so many options. He said people search “for different reasons and those require different experiences.” My guess is that, even this early in its rollout, AI Mode is Google’s future. When to use it While I’m in favor of shifting the stale search paradigm, I do have AI reservations. These systems hoover up answers from the internet, but rarely push you to the original source. Your trusted sources of information—like this very publication—stand to lose visibility, subscribers and traffic. If too many online platforms suffer, we’ll end up losing the open web in exchange for one big answer machine with zero citations or accountability. Stein said Google is engineering its AI products to connect people to the web and that data showed people do click links in AI search—they just bounce around less and spend more time on the valuable pages. So, yes, I’ll encourage you to try AI for search, as long as you promise to click a link when you can. There’s no wrong bot to choose. I’m sticking with ChatGPT since I already pay $20 a month for the Plus plan. Perplexity impressed me the most—though it’s been sued, including by Wall Street Journal parent Dow Jones, for using news content without fair compensation. You can sign up to try Google’s AI Mode here. Perplexity and ChatGPT both have Chrome and Edge extensions that add their bots to the search bar. Perplexity AI plans to launch its own browser in the next month. On iOS or Android, the easiest option is to add your preferred AI app to your home screen. On my iPhone 16 Pro, I’ve set ChatGPT to launch with the Action Button. And remember to click those links! The future of the web depends on it. Just ask Jeeves. Oh wait…
Excellent synopsis! Do you believe that the cannabis/hemp industry and politicians were unaware of the potential loophole? I keep hearing people saying they weren’t. I find it either very difficult to believe or that they (experts & MSO executives) should have known that it would have created future problems. I get that hemp derivatives are regulated as closely as MSO recreational weed. I’m very concerned that it could be and that it would be a much formidable challenger to regular recreational cannabis sold in MSOs. I also worry that medical cannabis could eventually be sold at pharmacies like Walgreen’s and CVS. Who the heck knows what the current administration will do.
Can you get the spray version of Fin from CVS?
Lol what. With insurance for me, it's like $300 for 90 days. $180 without insurance. And $23 with GoodRx at the CVS. But if you have a family member who works at the hospital, they can get the direct prescription just under a dollar.
My last Finasteride refill at CVS cost me $0.19 for a 90 day supply. It's supposed to be a half a pill per day but they gave me a full 90 pills anyway, so that's 180 days. Even the bottle cost more than that. Their competition has already made them dead meat. Their only hope is men avoiding the doctor and watching lots of TV and internet ads. Which might be a safe bet.

Saturday at Aldi.. a fair amount of shoppers but nothing crazy. Went to Walmart.. it was busier but most of the traffic were from the employees doing shopping for pick up. Also WTF is the goddamn lube locked up in a cabinet? I will never ask an employee to open it and hand me my selections. Fuck that shit. It took me over 20 minutes to realize this because the app has it in the store in an hard to locate place. Walmart was never my choice to shop in but my husband liked to use it when he shopped as he was unwilling to visit more than one store. But their prices on most of what we buy are not competitive. Also, sometimes I can get some products shipped there for pick up that allow me to not use Amazon... I don't know which is worse. I ended up at Target. I had to pick up prescriptions at their CVS. Also found the air popper that Walmart didn't have. And the Lube was not behind a lock but it took me some time to find. I think we are going to have to order that online but not sure for the best place. I also got a small box of cat food. I hate having to shop at the Wal/Tar. This is the first time I went to both stores since probably December. I generally shop at Aldi but they are limited in some items we need to purchase. They are also not always the best price on things and that is important when you want to keep to a budget.
Is anyone here knowledgeable on options? I find it's impossible to try to buy options off of anything other than the news, or stocks that are beaten down for no good reason. Any stocks down right now or punished for no good reason? I missed out on CVS and Uber in December/January. I don't see any such deals at the moment. Also is there any actual way to spot breakouts. I've noticed once a stock breaks out it just keeps going up.
I'm so tired of being gaslit The Nasdaq lost 14% in less than a month and people are trying to tell me it's not that bad. We are in a full blown correction on the Nasdaq and S,&P and the market has lost almost 5 trillion dollars It's bad it's very bad and we are heading much lower which contributes to the negative sentiment The Dow is like the dumbest metric of the market. When UNH was crashing the Dow was in the red but UNH and CVS were like the main stocks dragging the entire dow
What do you mean? The store clerk at my local CVS said that the bottle of Korbel I bought was champagne and the label said it as well
My worst performing portfolio positions going into this year were TGT and CVS. Guess which one I sold to tax loss harvest and which one I kept... 
The trick is to go to the CVS and get a ton of high end shots, stick them in your ladies purse, and just throw back sodas all day
I'd move stuff like PFE/CVS/MO/T into ETF - something like SCHD and/or UTG. Poor growth performance on those individual stocks and crazy debt load on some of them. Why risk the capital value on them for the juicy dividend yield (I assume this is the reason you hold them), when you can similar yield with diversification?
