I'm with you for most of your post until you get to the tired comparison between WAG and WMT. WMT losing money in the pharmacy is meaningless. It's a loss leader. This issue is that a company of WMT size can run loss leaders at WAG's primary product. But even saying that, the two stores, stocks, companies, employees, management are not comparable.

As an investor you know the decision process for each is very different and money can be made (or lost) is both.
