I'm short Walmart, believing a PE of 22-24 is too high for a company with a maximum growth outlook of 15%. To date, it now appears they will fall short of 15% growth. Their reliance on growing internationally is filled with with a lot of high estimates which I believe they cannot fulfill. So far they have lost money internationally, even with a small 6 million profit last Q. Can investors actually think Walmart can capture more than the 7% retail market they have today? I don't think so. I also like Walmart short, as it is great insurance for a down market. Retail stocks get killed, the first sign of trouble! LF
