>Wal-Mart has no more room to grow in their currnet market. Sounds like bad news for the stock. WMT wouldn't be the first company that ran out of room to grow then stumbled when they tried to find new growth opportunities. The p/e of 43 is pricy for a company that can't continue growing.

Glenn, yesterday I heard that even Osama bin Laden may start shopping at Wal Mart becuase there are almost no targets left in Afghanistan!

Glen, Noticed your post on WMT and moving from their business model. Wonder if they are worried about Target. In Minneapolis Target is building some new stores with the concept of a Sam’s Club integrated with the Walmart type store. These stores do not required a club membership and are price competitive with WMT and Sam's Club. The Target stores are clean looking and do not have the warehouse look. I believe this is a pilot project in their home town, but they could be trying it in other cities. The management at Target is patient and willing to take the time it needs to be profitable during expansion. Joan
