    Wal-Mart: Moving Beyond Low Prices [view article]
    I dont work for WM, but have lots of friends who do and I shop there all the time to save money. Funny, none of my friends who work for WM have ever talked about losing a bonus so one of the managment could get theirs. WM saves me money and that is what I like about them the most. As for some one saying since I dont work there, I dont know the real story. All I can say is I live in NWAR and have well over 100 friends, classmates and church friends who do work there and it must be that they are all liars and the people who bad mouth WM know it all.

    Wal-Mart: Moving Beyond Low Prices [view article]
    i worked for walmart for 12 years. when i started, it was a pretty good setup.About the time i left in 2003, they had just started letting fewer people do more jobs, even in management. Every year this gets worse.
    For the last 3 or 4 years, instead of giving the employees their bonuses, which they deserve, the would cut hours to make up for the difference in the bonuses, thus no one, except management....GOT THEIR BONUSES!!!!!
    Thats just the start of it. And yes, when Sam walked around, the employees were the kings and queens of Walmart. Not management.....     Reply

    I currently work at W-M (HomeOffice, ISD, Bentonville), and the comment about treating the associates as slaves is idiotic. I assure you, no one is getting rich around here and life is as hard for us as anyone else. W-M is made up of humans and, really, that's all you have to say. No one makes the store associate work at the store. No one's holding a gun. If you're a store a ssociate, you know the drill. Do you job, to the best of your ability, OR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Tesco needs the grouchy store associate.

    I can't remeber the last time "respect" was a benefit of ANY job I had. Why do think they call it "WORK"?     Reply

    20 Top High-Dividend Growth Stocks [view article]
    I have to say I like ED and USB , both have weathered this market very well and are both very profitable . With yields north of 5% and stock prices that have been steadily going up over the years these 2 are winners . GE and PFE have been dead money for investors , they pay good divs. but stock price has been south on both these for a long time . FITB I would'nt touch with someone else's money ! Reply

    The primary genesis of the current financial meltdown is subprime lending. Subprime lending was driven by Congress and acquiesced to by the administration. Both major political parties are culpable -- probably the Democrats more than the Republicans because their natural tendency is toward "government doing more."

    Surely, it is clear by now to anyone who can think rationally that the government is the problem. More government will create more problems.     Reply

    Too bad the Democrats spent all their time beating up on George Bush instead of Legislating and they now expect to be the party of choice for America. Think again. Reply

    If 95% of the people will get a tax reduction under B.O.; how does the math work for the 40% of people who pay no taxes at all? I guess there is 135% taxpayers? Reply

    Nice partisan try, willking. Probably a good reason for SA comments to stay away from party stuff. This is a bipartisan reaming of the investor.
    As you may know and ignore, the biggest obstacle to auditing and oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac was the Democrat powerful in Congress controlling the committees- Barney Frank ,Chris Dodd and others. They fought any attempts in the past to scrutinize these failed institutions.

    And as you choose to ignore, Fanny Mae was a major contributor to Obama. Obama is just another articulate and attractive face on the old Chicago political machine. To expect him to "lead us into prosperity and allow the nation to shine again" ranks right along with Oprah's coronation of Barry as the "chosen one".

    Failing societies always look for a Messiah, and we have descended to that level.

    Let's get back pertinent investor comments. The election will happen,one way or another.     Reply

    I worked for Wal-Mart, and I can tell you this if they treated their employees with respect, rather than as slaves, the customers over all expericance would increase by 75%. It is the customers who makes them rich and they seem to be forgeting this and need to go back to basics. Reply

    I agree with User 26737. King George III has done a job on us for eight long years. Everything he has touched has turned to nothingness or worse. Hopefully, Obama will surround himself with brainy and competent people who can extract us from the messes the King has saddled us with and lead us into prosperity and allow the nation to shine again. The damage done is so extensive that It will take a lot of doing. Reply
