This past July, WMT made a record high of $75.24... Yesterday it traded at a high of $75.04. It’s safe to say that Wal-Mart will eventually reach new levels — and based on the chart alone, Wal-Mart will probably be in record territory within the next two weeks: walmart_chart If you’re keeping score at home, Wal-Mart is now up a mind-blowing 149,000% since going public back in 1972. It’s up 25% year to day... and up almost 50% for the year. When you look at the numbers, I don’t see any reason for Wal-Mart’s capital appreciation to end. And the numbers are downright staggering... Advertisement Collect a $1,638 "Rent" Check Every Month Some investors have found a way to collect huge "rent" checks every month by partnering with one of the world's biggest "landlords." One man from Ontario gets $1,638/month. Another in Arizona gets an amazing $5,969/month. One Texas man's checks have grown to $23,220/month! And they're receiving these checks without owning any real estate! To learn how you can join them, click here. In the past year, Wal-Mart has added 52 million square feet of retail space. That’s more than 1,000 units opened in the past year. In total, Wal-Mart operates 10,130 retail units under 69 different names in 27 countries. The company controls 1,037 billion square feet of retail space worldwide. In fact, Wal-Mart’s retail space is 56% bigger than Manhattan. Wal-Mart logistics has the largest retail trucking fleet in the United States: 7,110 trucks, 55,761 trailers, and more than 7,000 drivers that go 700 million miles per year... To put that into perspective, Wal-Mart trucks drive the equivalent of 1,465 round-trips to the moon (average earth/moon distance is 238,900 miles)... Or 10 round trips to Mars when it is closest to Earth (distance of 33,926,856 miles)... Or 1.8 one-way trips to Jupiter when it's closest to Earth (distance of 391,000,000 miles). Wal-Mart's workforce is huge: 2.2 million employees — and growing daily. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
