That's interesting about Sam's. Will check one out this weekend. I never liked to have to pay a fee to shop in a friggin warehouse. Also don't like no express lines to just pick up a few items like I normally do so I hardly used my Costco membership. There could be and are a million factors going into each price change. Some bears like Mark Faber and Jim Rogers say, buy agricultural land now for the big collapse. Farm equipment prices up! I don't know.

Read the other day that a survey, by I believe Morgan Stanley, showed Walmart had raised their prices 5.8% while the average grocery chain had only raised just over 1%. In my area Walmart is no longer advertising "Rolling Back the Prices". Not a big deal....but they are the largest retailer on the planet. Sam's Club is also open to the public for the month of August....no membership required. Why would they do that? Isn't business growing? Sam's Club has been a loser for WMT in areas where it has to compete against Costco.
