Today's close on Wal-Mart's stock was $44.32, on September 17th, the day the markets opened after the September 11th crime & tragedy, WMT closed at $44/share.
If by chance, WMT decides to move & close below $44, then we'll have to go back to November 10th of 2000 where WMT closed at $43.69/share, before that we have October 27th of 2000 where WMT closed at $43.25/share... If it moves below $43.25, then we'd look all the way back to the August 9th, 1999 close of $40.19...
Bottom line, Wal-Mart's stock is as low right this second as it was after the September 11th tragedy... in other words... the economy isn't doing as well as the broader markets seem to think... i.e. the Dow being over 10,000...
The close on the Dow Jones Industrials for those wondering on September 17th, 2001?...
