"We continue to see Wal-Mart as a safe and attractive stock in
this environment."

Like I said, Leo, investors consider stocks like WMT a safe-haven
stock; I'm not sure what you're arguing about since I agree with
your fundamental premise and so does Ken--he said that he had been
considering selling part of the stock and so have I.

Just depends--if I see a better place to park my cash, I'll sell
WMT and put the money there; until then, I don't foresee WMT falling
as much as many other stocks, particularly some of the techs at this
time--incredible valuation on MSFT and maybe more to come if they
beat the earnings today. Also, look at Pfizer--my wife wanted me to
buy that one but I couldn't see a p/e of 40 with a growth of 13% and
sure enough it's started to fall back even though revenues are up.

In the end, I'm sure all these stocks will correct--just depends on
what you think will correct the most. WMT seems to be treading water
lately so it's probably safe to assume that the "parking" theory of
a "safe haven" is probably a fairly good one.
