Accentuating the caveat emptor perspective with critical commentary on financial disclosure. I adopt a skeptical persona and look for chinks in the teflon coating of financial disclosure. My job is to identify financial warts. Perhaps a Black Swan. Disclosure: I do not hold positions in stocks mentioned for three trading days before or after blog post.

WalMart gets Sensitive
Recent releases by Wal-Mart are surprising. Yes many and numerous critics surround them. Come to think of it there are a lot of critics.

When management needs to get so pro-active in socio-political affairs, who is minding the store?
