Walmart Stock?

Question

Do you believe it maybe worth getting? I work for the company and can invest a little through my paycheck. So is it worth it?

Answer 1

now wait a minute here before others answers......You said you WORK for THEM?????

Let me let you in a little secret. Wally World has a program called ESPP (or something similar to this) what this program does is to allow employees of a certain company to buy actual stock in the company they work for. In many cases when you do this you get to purchase the stock at a DISCOUNT over the market price (average is 15%) it is taken out of your paycheck every time (before any taxes are taking out) and your money is accumlated for three months and you buy it a certain intervals throughout the year.

Contact your HR department for this info I KNOW Wally World has a program like this.

Answer 2

The stock price right now is about $41.00 a share so he has a little over 7 shares worth of stock. The shares value can go up or down, depending on the company's performance for one thing (such as how much money they made over a period of time). And some companies like Walmart do pay dividends (sort of like interest on money in a bank account) every quarter of the year. You redeem your money by selling your shares usually, I don't know exactly what kind of account he has. Some companies even match the money (like 50% or something) and if you re-invest the dividends, the account can grow to a decent amount. It's a good way to invest money without having to pay any fees.

Answer 3

I do not work for them BUT I do have their stock. I got in years ago when it was cheaper so I am very happy with its performance.

If I were you I would take advantage of the this investment. I think if you are an employee you get a reduction in price too so definitely worth it compared to me who has to pay full price.

Answer 4

Yes.

Employees usually get a discount.

This is like getting a raise.

You will have less money every month but you will make millions after a few decades.

Even if you don't work at Wal-Mart anymore.

Buy as much stock as they allow you.

Shares bought a decade ago at less than $10.00 are now worth almost $50.00

If you invest $10,000.00 this year you could have $50,000.00 in a decade.

Shares bought two decades ago at less than $2.00 are now worth almost $50.00

If you invest $10,000.00 this year you could have $250,000.00 in two decades.

Shares bought three decades ago at less than $0.04 are now worth almost $50.00

If you invest $10,000.00 this year you could have $12,500,000.00 in three decades.
