I have no idea , well, actually I do...who would recommend such an outrageous post. Think about what you tried to get away with...a 12 - 1 spending differential between the top two? How foolish to write that and how stupid to recommend such an idiotic post. What you two are expressing is that facts do not matter, nor does honesty...

Wal-Mart says it's watching gasoline price closely •kennytroll walmart weekend door greeter By Andria Cheng 1.00%0.75%0.50%0.25%0.00%10a11a12p1p2p3p WMT XX:RLX NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Walmart U.S., the biggest division of the world's largest retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. /quotes/zigman/245476/quotes/nls/wmt WMT +0.99% , is "pleased with its traffic and sales so far in the quarter," the company's Chief Financial Officer Charles Holley said at a Bank of America Merrill Lynch conference on Wednesday. The unit just posted second straight quarter of positive comparable-store sales gains. Holley said the rising gasoline price will be the one wildcard the company is watching closely. "If oil continues to go up, that could be a drag on economies around the world," he said. Still, he said there's been a "new mindset" with its customers over the last five years and they are responding better to a price level at about $3 to $3.30. "The customer is probably resetting expectations in their budgets around that higher gas price. Having said that, I do think gas prices are going to be critical going forward for the customer. If gas prices do start getting upward, to creeping back up to $4 and $5, I think that's going to be a problem for our customer." Wal-Mart stock rose 0.7%. The S&P Retail Index /quotes/zigman/2621082 XX:RLX +0.64% also was up the same percentage.
