mm, watch out. Walmart is selling appliances and used cars now, making COMP sales easier to pump. I expect grocery futures trading to be added to their list of tricks soon (just kind of kidding on that). They are becoming the retail equivalent of Enron with those games they are playing to inflate same store numbers. One thing they don't tell you is that when they close a 70,000 square foot store and open a 130,000 one next to it with groceries, that counts as a COMP even though it is a completely different location with twice the space and twice the assortment, including low margin groceries.
