In a December 25, 2008 Bloomberg article Holiday Sales in U.S. Fell as Much as 4%, SpendingPulse Says, writer Heather Burkenoted thatStandard & Poor’s 500 Retailing Index lost 34% value this year while Walmart (which is not included in the index) gained 17% in the same period.

The actual scene at Walmart backs up this finding; the stores are super-crowded and the checkout lines are long. The likely reason? Individuals and families are strapped for cash, some living paycheck to paycheck, and the world’s largest retailer delivers low prices and price match guarantees.
