My old friend in Los Angeles just told me the repossession rate on Calif homes increased SIXTY percent in the past 60 days. This is good news because the price of housing will begin to decline.
How many recall the 1980's AFTER
Ronnie ran record deficits for 4-5 years so that we could catch up with the communists? I was in Dallas in 86-87 and you buy commercial real estate for
25-30 cents on the dollar. So Republicans know how to reduce prices as good as Walmart.
Now we've had record deficits. Oil that was $12 barrel in 2000 has zoomed to $70 barrell.
Of course, Bush the Oil-Man, Cheney the Haliburton-Oil-Man , Rice the Oil-Woman, Enron, etc have nothing to do with today's high prices nor have they anything to do with today's record deficits.
It's Bill Clinton's fault, plain and simple. If you screaming dum-dum libs can't see that then why don't you find another country to put your non-working lazy butts in and just shut up. After all "It's hard work" keeping this thing going and we don't need a bunch of lefties telling everybody that the economic mess has anything to do with George Bush or Dick Cheney or Republicans in Congress!
Besides the gays are about to take over the military and that will require lots of national attention and support from everyone to prevent it from happening.
Today's inflated prices means fighting a war is expensive. We know that.
So just shut up about Walmart's decline. Christmas will be along soon and we know that means a big boon time for Wal Mart so There!

Like all once great companys WMT has run it's course. ROE and pre tax profits have been down or treading water the last couple of years. Too bad because alot of people made a lot of money in this stock over the years.
There are a lot of other real growth companys out there besides WMT.
KNX
ORLY
SYK
WAG
WIRE
PETS
ENDP
to just name a few.
WMT is a has been. It's like people that pump LU waiting for it to hit 50.

Hmmm!

When it somes to WalMart, the Germans and South Koreans are smarter than Americans. And the Chinese are gonna unionize. Maybe the evil giant is crumbling a little.

Paula...you buy your tampons at Wal*Mart don't you? Size: extra large.
You wanna pay more for them? Shop somewhere else. The Waltons don't want money from your kind anyway.

Anon, 10:14,
I boycott WalMart, have for years, since they exported manufacturing jobs to Communist China. So are you a Commie, Anon?
Thanks for a good laugh, Riverdog, I can picture it now.
Except Anon is trying to get the Extra-small Trojan rubber to stay on, using both hands.
