dividendventure, you've touched on a topic that could turn political very fast. In my mind at least, there's an unspoken rule that we put politics aside to keep the discussion on track and to avoid causing rifts among members. That WMT is controversial doesn't necessarily make it a bad investment. I don't own it or follow it, and I'm agnostic to whether it is a good investment. For the purpose of this discussion, it is subject to the same headwinds as any other brick and mortar retail chain, although as you've pointed out they may be ahead of the curve in their online presence.
