     Stock Name : wal-mart stores

     Stock Description : Wal-Mart was the hottest stock in the Dow Jones industrial average in 2008 as cash-strapped consumers around the world flocked to its stores for bargain groceries and toys. The Bentonville-based retailer lost the title of world's biggest company in 2008. But think of its growth as former CEO Lee Scott does: In 2008, Wal-Mart racked up $30 billion in additional sales -- the equivalent of adding the annual sales of a Fortune 75 company. That growth was fueled by double-digit sales increases at international stores (U.S. sales only grew 6%.) Wal-Mart China alone added 28 stores over the year. Wal-Mart's 2009 prospects remain promising as shoppers battered by the recession shop for value.
