Think inferior goods, Mcdonalds is inferior to say applebees and chilis etc. Starbucks is ify to me. Walmarts doing well given the fact that its an inferior good and i would expect it to keep doing so as long as market outlook continues to look bearish.

In this market, a sales company that specializes on low price, than its defensive more or less. If your wallet was tight what would you skimp on and when would you settle for a lower quality lower price good over a higher quality higher price?
