And what on earth would make you think Wal-Mart will go bankrupt? This is the most profitable marketing chain there is. |

i like Big Lots (BIG) they have a better balance sheet then the rest of the retail companies. they have very little in the way of long term debt. |

What makes you think it will go bandrupt? (wishful thinking, huh?) It will restructure itself just as corporations have done for decades. They are constantly reinventing themselves and will continue to do so. Do you remember the early WalMarts? |

Well.... I do not see that happening! Atleast not in this lifetime anyway? This is one of the biggest companies not just in the US, but in the WORLD! So.. do not think you will see them filing bankruptcy :) |

One day another store will knock Wal Mart out of the top spot. It probably wont be for another 10-15 years but one day it will happen. Nobody can stay on top forever. I recall back in the 80s, Sears was the top dog. Nobody ever thought the likes of a Wal Mart could outsell Sears. Now look.
Who will it be to take their place? Probably some chain of stores we havent even heard of yet. When it happens it will be the same old **** though.
EDIT:
Those who think it cant happen, look at the auto industry. If you would go back in time 30 some years ago and said one day little Toyota would be challenging GM for the top spot, and passing up Chrysler and Ford people would have laughed at you and said you were drunk.
No company can stay on top forever. |

Everyone needs to quit going to Walmart so it WILL go bankrupt. It is a horrible company and you should not shop there |

Wal-Mart is the 24th MOST PROFITABLE COMPANY IN THE WORLD and they made $11,284,000,000.00 USD in 2006
That is enough to buy a 9% stake in Eni (The 23th most profitable company in the World) |

Excellent question and you are very perceptive to be asking it. Sam Walton is long dead, and the board of directors have totally abandoned his principles. First they cut manpower to the core. Then they began relying on 'part time' employees who they do not have to pay full benefits to, now they have entirely dismissed the 'American made' products and buy crap from the cheapest vendors, generally China. Each of these things was done to increase the profit margin so the stock value would continue to increase to keep the stockholders happy. Now there's really not many corners left to cut, the stock value is stagnant or receding, and the 'big guys' are making plans to bail out with golden parachutes when they've milked this cow for all they can get. The end will come probably a lot like the old 'Ma' Bell telephone company scenario, although I don't think the government will ever have to go the anti-trust route with Wal-Mart because it really is about to collapse under its own weight. Most likely it will be divided into 'regional' parcels, then nibbled away by competitors/hostile takeovers/mergers. Remnants will remain for years but the marrow is dying and the end is coming. |

Sam Walton is dead so this is a possible.There is no power with the finances to take them over. Good question and I dont know the answer except maybe the US gov.
the dems are pushing us toward socialism anyway |

Since they stopped carrying many nationally renowned products and only started carrying many products only in their Equate brand, they are in danger of losing many customers. People choose Walmart for convenience of everything under one roof, but when they stop offering the variety people will again return to dealing with multiple retailers. I would not say they are going bankrupt but they ARE going to see a downward shift |
