Wal-Mart, a chain of discount stores started by Sam Walton in 1962, has become a central figure of social, economic and political debates. Walmart topped the 2011 fortune 500 list for the second consecutive year, coming in with $421.85 billion in revenue. Walmarts's legendary low prices have democratized consumption, allowing low-income households to afford expensive items such as a flat screen television. I would invest in Walmart's stock because its trading closer to its yearly high of 30.10, and has increased by 1.89%.
