It is, however, quite interesting---Doug R and "Martin" have been waxing lyrical on the wonders of Walmart for at least the year I've been a member of Mudcat, and telling us about all the ordinary people who are invested in it, as well as, I'd say, implying that it's a good investment. During that time Walmart stock has been one of the worst performing of the Dow.

So, the question now becomes--are they ignorant or hypocritical?

Taking the charitable interpretation, I would say they are ignorant.

In fact, it just continues a virtually unbroken string of absurd claims and false information from them.

Caveat emptor.
