  • Best and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [View article]
    Just a note of comparison; Walmarts in So.FL have higher prices for food, food brands, meats and fresh produce than the chain supermarkets: Publix & Winn-Dixie.
    The chain supermarkets run weekly sales with prices for most bread, staples and produce that are much cheaper. Walmart's house brands are about the same price/value as Publix's. Produce at the local bodega is much cheaper than at Publix, and 1/3 the price at WalMart.

    This is the same phenomena that occurred when I lived in KY: Walmart ads claiming low prices, but Krogers and Meiers had much cheaper groceries.

    Perhaps for bulk imported sneakers, clothes and other non-food items, Walmart is cheaper than the chain Dept. stores:Penneys, Macy's and Sears. But when I see their "Always low prices", I cringe.
    In terms of their stock's value, I haven't a clue, because unless they pay me to hold their risk, I don't buy their stock.
