The US market went up and a significant portion of the world market followed suit. Consumer spending has decreased. WMT is a well run rounded company. They were at the right spot in the right time for a double header. They saved people time one stop shopping as well as extended consumer dollars for more price conscious buyers. This morning i think of the market money flow and where it goes. Ideally in a down turn money vanishes leaving no trace of its being.

Retail Sales Fall 1.2%; Ex-Autos Up 0.1% (Update1) By Carlos Torres and Monee Fields-White Washington, Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. retail sales fell in September as purchases of autos, apparel and electronics declined. It was the biggest drop since November and a sign the largest source of growth may be fading, economists said. Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, said September sales at stores open at least a year were 3.3 percent higher than a year ago -- the month of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. That was below the company's forecast, as apparel sales were disappointing for most of the month, and Halloween candy and costume purchases were less than expected, Wal-Mart spokesman Tom Williams said.
