56. Here's why Walmart appears to be showing a 5% growth rate in sales...
During the last holiday period, EVERYTHING was discounted to a certain degree in hopes of getting people out to the stores to salvage something from 2002.

This year, very little is being discounted, and the increase in sales growth is actually based on less items being sold. For volume houses like Walmart, that's not good news.

Toys-R-Us is another example of the retail industry taking a hit regardless of what we're being told by the economic cheerleaders of the mainstream media. Toys-R-Us is suffering such a decline in overall revenues that they're being forced to close a number of stores across the country.
