WalMart got the traffic sprichwort

Wal-Mart got the traffic, but not the margins, and that will raise questions about fourth-quarter earnings for retail in particular and the consumer sector in general. That's giving you some early caution.

It's clear that [Wal-Mart] is going to offer very sharp price [discounts] to drive customer traffic. While [fourth-quarter] sales will be respectable, the lower prices necessary to drive traffic will filter through to earnings that are below the current consensus estimates.

Earnings have suffered this quarter and throughout the year as we have changed the composition of our company and implemented the most complex rail merger in history, ...

John Snow (1941-)

Paul Mendelsohn
