I take it you're not a fan of Wal-mart Variol?

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 01-15-2009, 08:01 PM

I loathe the place!

That's as nasty as I am permitted to be

When are they going to update for 2009? Would like to see how fast they disappear in this economic tsunami.

I dunno, from what I've seen when out shopping, they'll be the last to go. They were the busiest out of Target, K-Mart, and Wal-mart the week before Christmas. If anything the other companies will suffer while Wal-mart grows. Of course, this could differ from area to area.

can I have some graphs of their competitors for comparison? Their numbers can go down, but if they still lead the pack they won't be disappearing in all likelyhood.

Looked up target, overall, they're worse off. Who would I look up for K-mart? Would it be Martha Stewart or Sears or something else?

You have to either know, or look up their NYSE symbol, then punch it in.
