As Sam Walton once said, “It’s only paper.”.................
The Walton family is the richest family in the United States and one of the richest in the world. They are heirs to the Walmart fortune and the company’s largest shareholders, with over fifty percent ownership of stock in the retail giant.
Sam Walton and his brother Bud opened their first Walmart discount store in 1962. Today three family members serve on Walmart’s board of directors; Rob is the chair, and sits on the board with his brother Jim and his son-in-law, Greg Penner.
The six Waltons on Forbes’ list of wealthiest Americans have a net worth of $144.7 billion. This fiscal year three Waltons—Rob, Jim, and Alice (and the various entities that they control)—will receive an estimated $3.1 billion in Walmart dividends from their majority stake in the company.
The Waltons aren’t just the face of the 1%; they’re the face of the 0.000001%. The Waltons have more wealth than 42% of American families combined.
That’s a helluva feat of shoplifting!
“Well screw you pal. You suck.”’
That’s just a tad harsh on the noob for a poorly done post, isn’t it?
USA Today is link only.
Sssh! You’ll spoil all his fun.
It’s a USA Today story, a Gannett publication. You should know its copyright posting restrictions.

Good by to his donation to the FReepathon.
Some summary might have been nice.
...Not even a single word? Just a blind link?

Uh, USA Today is link only.
Maybe if they tried stocking the Confederate flag and .22 ammo, business might pick up.
The article referred to describes in general how WalMart experienced a sharp stock decline which caused the prices to reduce markedly Wednesday in the biggest drop in perhaps a decade.
Which is its main point.
The rest of the article is a ho-hum yawner about how its biggest owners are hit hard by it and mentions a few of them. Then goes on to mention some other stockholders that are not in the upper percentile who are also hit because of the sudden decline in stock prices. Not really worth clicking on.
The most salient point was the stock price drop off. The rest is pretty much simply filler.
There. A summation with no direct quotes.
Cheers, Humble! :)
One would think you'd know that, given how long you have been here.
Right.
And if I kissed his butt he would donate?
I think you underestimate his tolerance and also my influence.
If your support here is based upon my comments, you might be a bit impaired.
