TARGET EXPRESS concept opening in Chicago...could itwork in downtown Detroit?

[Richard]

Do you know anything about how share evaluation works? Walmart and Target don't have the same amount of shares in circulation. A 2 for 1 stock split, for example, can make an $80 Walmart share $40 without changing it's market capitalization, and each shareholder would just own twice as many shares without changing their equity.


Links?

Just go to both stores and look at what they sell. Anyone can see where Target is heading. I compared the prices. A lot of the items at Target were 25-50% higher than local retailers or Walmart.



Based on what? Your dreams?

How are you offering no buy comments without doing simple research ?

Nix. International expansion forces domestic expansion , no expansion creats stall,you are forced to explore new markets not looked at before.

Bad economy wal mart does good target does bad,what does that say about a certain economy and where wal mart sees profit.

Target demographic is middle to higher low income,Wal-Mart is based on the mentality of cheapest is better even if cost more buying the same item over and over,but it is cheap today tommorow is another day.

They serve two different markets and two different mind sets and really should not even be mentioned as a comparison as there is none.

Did the OP say yaaaaa we are getting a Wal-Mart? That would be a leap backwards.

What is the highest traffic count and easily excessable location where you can draw from Midtown,Corktown,EV ect that can provide that demographic ? Find that spot to make a case.
