Why you shouldn't worry that Sam's will close

Just a few comments here: Wal-Mart will not sell off Sam's Club for multiple reasons. The first being that it is an extremely profitable company. The company closed 60 clubs down last year because they were using the profits from 120 clubs to keep... — read more
