Walmart: Falling stock and the Buy Blue initiative
Walmart stock hit its highmark immediately after the election but has steadily fallen in since. Although there are many longstanding issues with this company, I wonder if the Buy Blue movement (and the like) haven't had an impact here.

check the 6 month chart to see it more clearly.

3. Absolutely.
I'm sure it will never play in the MSM, but I believe there is a backlash for Walmart's huge financial support of W&Co during the campaign.:bounce: :woohoo:

2. mabey the Waltons will realize
that it's more profitable to support the community that supports them in the fashion of Henry Ford. If the people who work for you can't buy your product, you limit your market. I hope this is a beginning of a trend. If corporate management starts using long-term, socially responsible strategy, I might consider going back to work and help the economy.
