Graphic_arrow1 Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:  

It now appears after gloomy reports from Target (TGT), JC Penny (JCP), and Macy's (M) that Wal-Mart (WMT) may just be the only large retailer actually growing.

Wal-Mart (WMT) reported its sales and earnings yesterday, for the quarter ended July 31, 2008. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 were approximately $101.6 billion, an increase of 10.4 percent from $92.0 billion in the second quarter last year. (Call Transcript)
