...more choice as well. With this aggressive strategy, and upgrades to the shopping experience provided by Project Impact, Weinswig believes Walmart is positioned for a big year: on March 14, she upgraded the stock from hold to buy, and set a price target of $65 per share (after the close of business on March 17, Walmart was trading at $55.92 per share). The company's plan also indicates that a significant swath of American consumers are still hunting for value in the economic rebound, and many of those who "traded down" during the worst of the recession are "staying down...
...lament about Mexico is that it's "so far from God, so close to the United States." These days it might be more apt to say that Mexico looks so far from Latin America.

In 2010, Medicare Part D enrollees who reach the gap will receive $250 rebate checks...

"In Hong Kong, it's common not to know neighbors who have been beside you for 10 years," says researcher Yip. While social and mental-health workers have been asked to pay close attention to depressed parents of small children, professional help remains thin on the ground in Hong Kong and is no substitute for a strong personal-support network.
