  why not look at American made....first!

  "Now let us look at Wal-Mart again; you buy a product there, 6% goes to the employees, 10-18% is profit to the company, 25% goes to other costs and 50% goes to re-stock or the cost of goods sold. Of the 50% about 20-25% goes to China, a guess, but you get the point. Now then, how long will it take at 433 Billion dollars at year for China to have all of our money, leaving no money flow for us to circulate? At a 17 Trillion dollar economy less than 40-years minus the 1/6 they buy from us. Some say that if we keep putting money into our economy, it would take forever, but if we do not then eventually all the money flow will go. If China buys our debt then eventually they own us, no need to worry about a war, they are buying America, due in part to our own mismanaged trade, so whose fault is that? Not necessarily China, as they are doing what's in the best interests, and we should make sure that trade is not only free, but fair too."

  People in America need to realize jus what got America in this shape…”cheap” yes so-call cheap items from a foreign land.

  quote*Wal-Mart firmly believes in local procurement. We recognize that by purchasing quality products, we can generate more job opportunities, support local manufacturing and boost economic development. Over 95% of the merchandise in our stores in China is sourced locally. We have established partnerships with nearly 20,000 suppliers in China. *end quote!

  Now! if there be 182 country’s making items for the world to buy and they have only 5% of the pie in China…duh! This company makes the nice people of China support their currency(yuan) by keeping it in their country working for the people there…. but with the “yuan” going up in value and the US dollar going down…all the foreign items that the American consumer buys thinking it is cheap has went up in price.

  People…its all about the currency and to keep a currency strong you got to keep it floating around the country you live in so it can work for you. For the past 12 years all them US dollars are being shipped overseas to a foreign bank and with the American worker not making anything for the foreigner to buy the “we the people” have to turn to the “second” largest employer in America(Uncle Sam) to sell “we the people” debt in order to get all them dollars back!

  50 years ago a foreigner would had given their left nut for a US dollar or a Hershey’s chocolate bar and today the same foreigner has got Uncle Sam and the American consumer by both all the while Hershey is moving the chocolate factory to Mexico. Wake up! America and think “MADE IN AMERICA.”

  Motley has been maketing their Advice for a Price Newsletter under the proclaimed hot tip of "The Death of Wal-Mart". Now, Motley says "Wal-Mart is a Motley Fool Inside Value recommendation".

  You people missed your true calling. You should be politicians. Like Obama, you are never wrong when you take both sides of every issue.

  Buy low sell high.. simple and efficient if you know what you are doing. The world was crashing in the 70's, 80's 90' and 2002. Wake up all you pessimistic people out there.

  You have to trust the end of the world as we know it is not going to happen and figure out what industries are rock bottom right now...find them and put your money in them.

  Of course what do I know...

  have a friend who is starting a garage and he got a used BMW in to work on and he has found out that everything on that BMW has to be gotten from a BMW dealer.

  All the parts, and all the fluids are specific to a BMW.

  That makes keeping a BMW in good shape a very expensive proposition.
