In March 04, Bloomberg (Bloomberg Markets magazine but I really have no idea where you can find the magazine) carried a good article called Wal-mart's nasty labor war.
"During the past 20 years, Wal-mart shares have risen almost 43-fold compared with six-fold for the S&P 500".
Now here are some interesting stats"
Walmart's annual sales of $244.5 billion are almost as great as Switzerland's GDP.
Wal-Mart sold enough Ol-Roy multiflavored dog bisuits in one year to circle the earth twice.
Wal-Mart account for 25 percent of Clorox's sales and 18 percent of Procter & Gambles.
If Wal-Mart were a country, it would be China's eight-largest trading partnet, with $12 billion in imports (2002 only)
Wal-Mart is the largest private employer in the U.S., with 1.2 million workers.
Now I don't understand how you guys started talking about Wal-Mart, but maybe you'll want to read that article.
