If you work full time at Walmart making $15 an hour and just do the 6% 401k match you're investing $1872 out of your paycheck, saving $187.20 on taxes immediately (just from federal), and putting $3744 to work per year. Assume a 10% ROI, 40 years from now JUST FROM THE FIRST YEAR of contributions you've turned essentially $1684.80 into $169,451. Assuming 3% average yearly inflation that's $50,109 in today's money. Im 22 years old and I've worked for Walmart for 5 years and I have around $101,000 invested from the 401k match, WMT stock match, and IRA+HSA since I was 18 and I barely put anything in for two of those years. Calculated my ROI and it's over 60% just doing a split of VOO and VXUS and it's equivalents
AAPL used to be a high growth company, but then had 3 years of essentialy flat revenue. They're back on track for mid to high teens top line growth, but for my tastes they don't quite fit the profile of consistent growth anymore compared to other megacaps such as GOOGL MSFT AMZN NVDA where top line is literally running up each and every year with lots of pre-contracted recurring revenue. I have a smaller position in AAPL after liquidating some recently (when it ran to $330). I have enough exposure from VOO/QQQM that I'm okay holding less shares. I could see a scenario where they maintain a "popular consumer name" premium such as COST and WMT. But I pick my individual stocks for valuation based on financial performance that outclasses SP500 average and thus should have higher return.
38 P/E for a retailer 🤣 Where are they getting the growth from? Is WMT getting into the AI game?
Crampon also said by TGT and WMT... guessing poots in order
Bought some WMT & COST.......
Show it again a few months from now when you lose it all cause you have a gambling addiction, meanwhile my boomer etfs and WMT are in it for the long haul.
There is opportunity with $ASO, $CASY, and $SAIL. But I just know that if I try them, I will go 0/3 Whether ASO follows DKS, or CASY follows WMT, or SAIL follows CRWD needs more research and even then they'll still go the other way
No. Wait it out after today’s job report and see what WMT does. Will most likely open another call position on Tuesday to avoid theta over the long weekend.
WMT. I inherited some when I was 18 and sold it to bankroll some silly decisions. The stock wasn’t doing phenomenal at the time, and I sold close to $20k. Not very long after, the stock split 2-for-1 and is trading pretty close to the pre-split price. If I had some more self restraint and lived within what my income could support, I’d have nearly doubled the value. Now to be clear, I didn’t regret spending the money at the time. But hindsight is 20-20, be careful with windfalls. It’s easy to start spending a lot more than you can really afford.
LULU and NKE going to get acquired by WMT in the single digits
Lost $1K on puts thinking it was going to come back down but made $3K on WMT, $1.1K on GOOG, and $4K in my boring retirement ETFs. Great days
Less than two weeks after being gifted WMT at big time lows, we get MCD at multi-year lows. Keep gift-wrapping these to us, Mr. Market.
TSLA is fucking cracked man. 6.5% day so far. Puts end of day for tomorrow may not be a bad play. Also - shout out to WMT. That earning dip was as close to free money as you could get. 4x’d my $105c.

Dollar general dell maybe, but I’m biased I’m long WMT and adding.
WMT is also often the closest (and sometimes only) retailer to many poor people in the US, however. Similar for DG in very rural areas. PG makes household necessities so no matter where they are sold it should feel the burn.
WMT has been getting higher income shoppers, I wouldn’t expect a huge shift in earnings
>States now must [report undocumented immigrants to DHS or risk federal funding](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/02/doj-states-undocumented-immigrants-dhs-funds.html), DOJ says If I am understanding this correctly, it means the admin is about to pull welfare benefits from states that T-Diddy doesn't like. Seems like that should hit WMT, DG, PG, etc. So what do you think, a solid short?
USO calls, WMT calls, SLB calls, BWET calls, SPY puts
$WMT is a good move
Those $105c on WMT after that big earnings dip was free money. Almost 2x’d and I still got 18 days.
Never, I mean never, go full pot Regard. Sure ticket to stocking at WMT
Looked at the watchlist, checked the indexes, DEX, VIX, 10Y and decided to sit out. Added some WMT, DUK, and LMT shares. Boring.
Good catch, premium is the wrong denominator. What forces the hedge is shares — contracts × 100 × delta change — measured against how much the stock actually trades. Reran it as share-equivalent vs. 20d ADV: |Ticker|Share equiv|% of ADV| |:-|:-|:-| |CRWD|2.75M|29.0%| |COIN|2.35M|24.6%| |MSTR|6.06M|24.1%| |WMT|3.56M|12.9%| |HIMS|1.64M|12.7%| |ASTS|0.76M|7.0%| |PFE|2.10M|5.5%| |NOK|1.78M|2.6%| CRWD is the real one. MSTR has 2x the contracts but drops to third, and its wall's still 5.6% out. Upper bound, since real hedging is the delta *change*, not the full position. Either way, better input than premium — adding it to the board.
WMT is getting bought up. Hoping for $106 before lunch
So now you’re saying the average person should gamble their retirement on far dated put options? I highly doubt most FA’s even utilize options as it’s incredibly risky. Everyone was screaming doom and gloom last year when SPY and QQQ both dropped over 10% in a short period, and if an advisor would have bought puts for “downside protection” those positions would have went to zero or would be significantly down right now. The funds you are talking about are often holding consumer defensive companies and it’s not exactly a hidden strategy to buy into those during times of market instability. Everyone knows about WMT and COST. This is not some sort of super secret hidden strategy. And buying ETFs/mutual funds every month is not stock picking. Trying to completely time the market with all of your money and buying single stocks would be a hell of a lot riskier. Never said to hold SGOV for a long time either. I use the fund to sideline money when the market is struggling and then rotate the money back in when the market turns. This is how I got all the funds I’m invested in on discount last year when people were panicking. Right now I just use SGOV as an emergency fund and otherwise I’m fully invested.
WMT is such an obvious buy.
The detail that decides this one: with WMT at ~103, your $100 LEAPS stopped being a PMCC a while ago. A PMCC works because the long leg is deep ITM and mostly intrinsic - it behaves like stock while the short calls pay rent. What you own now is an ATM call that's nearly all extrinsic, which is about the most theta-heavy thing on the chain, and you're renting it out at 20-delta 15DTE prices in floor-level IV. That mismatch IS the "theta will soon cost more than the calls pay" feeling. It's real and it compounds monthly. So the real question isn't roll/hold/close, it's: do you still want WMT upside for the next 10 months? If no, close - Schmergenheimer already covered why rolling isn't a genuine third option. If yes, the fix is structural, not patience: sell the ATM leap and replace it with something deep ITM (75-80+ delta) so the long leg goes back to being mostly intrinsic. More capital per contract, but you stop paying the extrinsic melt that's currently hurting you more than the stock is. One small thing against panicking: microscopic call premium is the market telling you IV is on the floor. Bad time to be a premium seller - but it also means the extrinsic in your own leap is already compressed, so if you do exit, you're at least not dumping vol at the very bottom of it.
No about of good news or blowout earnings sessions seem to be enough. The MRVL shit is criminal. MU and SNDK are at lower multiples than WMT or any of the bag7.
WMT MCD consumer defense thoughts?
Regardless of what you paid for the position, does WMT look like an attractive purchase at this point? It is now at a fairly strong congestion area with an increasing OBV and a bounce may be in the future. If you sell calls again, sell them after a rally 1-2 points out to maximize premium.
Ok got it, so that changes things. With WMT around $103, your $100 June ’27 LEAPS is basically ATM now, so it’s no longer behaving like the deep-ITM stock replacement a PMCC usually relies on. I don't think I would chase tiny short-call premiums just to offset theta either — keep in mind you also need room for WMT to recover. How much total premium have you collected against the original $38 so far? Also, one more thing to keep in mind is that Walmart did actually raise its full-year guidance after earnings. So the selloff, as I understand it, was driven more by slowing comparable sales and softer near-term expectations than some complete breakdown
But based on what analysis? WMT was at $133 3 months ago. They have 10 months to get there again and you have 10 months of selling calls to reduce that cost basis. Theta on this thing is -0.02. How are you not making more on your short calls?
Hard to get specific without the LEAPS strike/cost basis and your current short call, but I wouldn’t roll just to avoid realizing the loss. You could potentially turn one bad trade into a longer, more expensive one... so if your WMT thesis is still intact, holding the LEAPS and being selective with short calls may make sense. If the thesis changed, taking the loss is probably the cleaner approach
Because I’m trying to be careful and not assigned, my deltas are \~20 on my CC. I’ve been playing around with about 15 DTE. The panic is my LEAPS is dropping value and theta is eating into premiums and I don’t have confidence WMT is going to rebound in time to break even or even come close, really.
Haha yes, that’s exactly what I am thinking. I don’t have my confidence WMT is going to make any miraculous turn around.
WMT's average forward P/E for the decade is 28x. It's never going to be priced "cheap" by forward P/E when the company is a cash fortress and will outlast the end of humanity.
Woo, glad we can go can go back to Semis being worthless. Now to buy more COST/WMT 😎
Do WMT calls look good here or more downside to come?

WMT biggest piece of crap stock
You should probably sit down for this one: People are fucking broke and the poors are eating their dogs bc even WMT is too expensive. Calls on DG
You shorted Dollar General when poors can’t even afford WMT?! Brother…
$WMT time to go up again regard
That's a good point, and definitely a big part of what's happening. And look what happened to WMT lately
oh interesting: right, CASY since 2000 up almost 7700%. COST also near 2800%, but WMT and TGT down in the 100s with SPY.
WMT is going to gets its ass hammered for a while

Posting this because I know NEXT time it'll be wrong, so I have nothing to fear. In general, I've found it pays to go long before earnings if the realized volatility of a stock is below its average, by let's say one standard deviation, and the price band it's been in is pretty flat. This did NOT work for WMT, but it did just now work for NVDA. It works the majority of the time. NVDA had low vol coming into earnings, and a narrow price band, so I bought. I'm happy, so far.
No fake ass tap to pay new WMT IS A CROCK OF SHIT
So what price we hopping in WMT at 👀
DG puts, they ER tomorrow. If WMT, NKE, DKS got hosed, DG is gonna get nuked
Might full port WMT calls at open
FLAT. Nobody cared. Especially not my WMT and PEP
Wouldn’t be the first time someone was underwater on WMT. Don’t panic sell. Buy a few more shares or just hold. 🚀
Could have picked a better regime standing in the self checkout lane at WMT any day of the week.
Shorting WMT and Costco until Tariffs are resolved. They will get hit hard... a lot of their products come from Canada
Whoever said buy WMT last night is a dumdum
I can hear the gnashing of teeth from r/ValueInvesting over WMT after they thought they were finally winning their decade long arguement about their forward P/E.
WMT calls were the move boom
Nah, WMT said they see richer people shopping there now. Broke people shop at Grocery Outlet
Broke people shop at WMT >>> soon we will all be broke >>> WMT will pump again
WMT is such an obvious buy
WMT gonna crawl back up to the 110s? over dramatic sell off last week imo
The bubble isn’t even in the main AI stocks. Based on their earnings their valuation can be easily justified. The bubble is in low margin garbage like WMT who is trading at 35x forward PE lmao.
I was down 40% on WMT calls on Friday but I broke even this morning & sold. Feels good.
WMT and tech for me- not great!
WMT back to $110 today fuck the poors
Careful WMT, we know what you’re doing with our bacon
WMT January calls dont fail me
The secret is to choose companies with strong balance sheets. Are profitable and have good fundimentals and customer demand. These are the companies that will be around in 30 years. E.g. WMT. Americas largest grocery chain. People have to eat don't they?
only for a mean reversion oversold bounce. WMT is fucked. theyre trading at tech growth level valuations and just posted negative growth
WMT at 104 seems like a steal
I like WMT. Just stopped contributing to my HSA just to buy WMT bi-weekly.
add in the following: SP500 earnings all time high, WMT slowing sales, midterm elections and SPR approaching empty

$WMT. Such a growth stonk.
WMT is now a Great Value stock.
I hate to break it to you, but Walmart is now at fair value. The stock breaking out to 130 was kind of ridiculous given that it’s not a high growth stock that deserves a higher multiple. iirc, it went up because of tariff annulments and WMT Google deal to use a.i. for checkouts. But earnings was the reality check, many were waiting for. I am not sure how high your strike is and if anything crazy bullish will happen between now and the 4th. But you never know
