Don't know what to say, Ken--my target for sale was 32 and then
when it hit 32 I decided it looked like WMT was still cheap by
comparison to the overall market. Now it's looking pricey but it's
still not as pricey as some other stocks--Coke, say, or Merck or
Dell or...you name it. I don't expect WMT to fall back into the
20's even though I do expect an eventual correction and I also agree
that Ben makes a good case to hold. If I recall, you're holding
this one in a tax-sheltered account so that makes a very big
difference--I have a big position in WMT and I'd certainly have a
strong desire to sell at least some of it if not for the taxes and
even with the taxes---"what do I do." Always the same old question--
it's easy to pick a stock and buy but not so easy to decide when
to sell.

Overall, the market has to correct pretty good someday I would think--
it's never gone on at these kinds of overvaluations without a major
correction sooner or later.

Like I asked Leo--When? How much? That's the question that I'd
ask the crystal ball.
