Wal-Mart annual Shareholders Meeting

We still can't wait to see what kind of hoopla the WMT annual meeting generates this year, with the company's investors and employees expected to pack an 18,000-seat arena near its Bentonville headquarters. Sure, company executives will talk about revamping stores and boosting sales at a time when Wal-Mart's low- and middle-income customers are enduring rising gas prices and plunging consumer confidence.
