Hearing rumbles that this deal isn't going to go through. But I will say from experience that when companies announce such deals they have already done their homework and generally feel pretty good about anti-trust issues. We'll be interesting to watch. Either way - Wall Street is selling Walgreen's on the news.

So, sure, generally, people have done their homework with multibillion dollar deals. But sometimes, that homework doesn't get a passing grade.
