"NEW YORK (AFX) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the Bentonville, Ark., retailer, reported first-quarter earnings rose 14%, total sales rose 9.5%, and U.S. same-store sales rose 2.9%. Revenue and adjusted earnings missed the consensus analyst estimates. For the quarter ended April 30, the world's No. 1 retailer reported net income of $2.46 billion, or 58 cents a share, against $2.17 billion, or 50 cents, in the year-earlier period. Excluding special items, Wal-Mart earned 55 cents in the latest period. Sales reached $70.91 billion from $64.76 billion. Total revenue climbed to $71.68 billion from $65.44 billion. The consensus estimates of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were for earnings of 56 cents a share on revenue of $72.05 billion. Wal-Mart shares fell 12 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $48.60 on Wednesday."

driver: 'P' trade - don't remember seeing that one. Is it the completion of a large order over a 'period'?
Thought of an excellent alias for you know whom - Don Quixote: tilting at windmills! Suggest future references should be to DQ to remind him of his futility?

Driver I do not understand Don Quixote
My mum said I must stop being silly and must not aggravate people any more on this site.
So if I do its out of habit.
Do not take no notice of me I am only deramping this share because I haven't got any.

Re query on Shares mag. It gets put to bed at midday Tuesday each week. They are getting funny about keepimg up with certain shares, eg SEO and GFM in particular, but comment ad nauseum on cos. like Zincox. Guess they have to have their favourites!
Re next news on SEO, my contact says orders are imminent and although they don't like shorters trying to rubbish the company they believe the timescale before being able to make more announcements may be soon enough for that to not be more than a temporary irritant. However, I cannot imagine them allowing anyone to defame the company or its directors and get away with it over the long term; maybe for the timebeing they are best just doing what we all want them to do - sign up largescale orders worldwide.
