“On the same idea, we would take Wal-Mart, ... They had their analyst meeting last week, and they made an incredible statement. This is a $200 billion company with 1.4 million employees, it's the largest retailer in the world.

Whether it's true or not, we won't know for another five-to-10 years. But we think just with Super Centers, that they can grow at double-digit rates over the next five-to-10 years.”
