insurance comes as second nature to many of us. We
grab that blue and white card and put it in our
wallet behind old Irving fill-station receipts and
forget about it until we are sick or injured. When

back on, no blue and white card to show the
emergency room when...

Long-Term Financing Decision for Wal-Mart
Wal-Marts main goal is to increase its profits,
just as it is a goal of every commercial
enterprise. The strategy it employs to reach this
goal is continuous expansion at the expense of
pushing smaller retailers out of business. What
enables Company to offer very low prices is its
dependency on low quality Chinese products. I my
opinion, this strategy is appropriate at present
time. The Wal-Marts rapid growth is the best proof
of that. The demographic dy...

David Glass has invested billions of borrowed
