Warren Buffett Counts Wal-Mart Among His Biggest Holdings

We haven't gotten to Wal-Mart Stores earnings yet, but Thursday's earnings announcement could be a big one for the Oracle of Omaha. The company is expecting to make less than it did this time last year, and with the stock trading at about breakeven, the performance of Wal-Mart's stock before its big holiday quarter could impact Warren Buffett. His Berkshire Hathaway has been building a position in the company since 2005, and now, it is one of his five largest holdings. Today's Chart of the Day has been gaining steam in recent days, as some investors are looking favorably at the holiday season.
