mg your theory of Wal-Mart's future online dominance makes sense. I'll even wager that if you buy something on-line from "reputable" Wal-Mart, and you are not happy with your purchase, Wal-Mart will let you return it to a "bricks and mortar" store for refund. The problem with mail order and e-tail is having to reship stuff back to the merchant to return it. There is a Wal-Mart store darn near everywhere; makes it real easy to return things. Sounds like a winner to me. Lily

MG: I agree completely with your analysis... In less than 20 years Walmart knocked off Kmart who previously knocked off Sears as the nation's largest retailer... Walmart's management is like the old Roman Empire... They have great leadership that knows how to execute their retail battle plans... I've been buying Walmart directly from the company for several years now... I'm confident that while Walmart may not be first to the net, it will be first on the net... It doesn't know how to lose... It even knocked mighty Toy's r Us out of first place... Within the next year the P/E should begin to dramatically expand as investors begin seeing this 8000 lb Gorilla flex its muscles... Jim
