>>Wal-Mart is doing all these good things with a profit margin of less
>>than 4 percent.

Four percent doesn't seem like much of a profit margin, 
but I don't think the average item at Wal-Mart stays on 
the shelf a year.

If it stayed on the shelf a week and there are 52 weeks 
in the year (I'm pretty sure about that last), then the 
profit the investment in inventory would be over 200 
percent.
