[Winona Online Democracy] You may own a piece of Wal-Mart and not even know it. Are you or anyone in your family set up in a 401(k), 403(b) or 457(k) retirement plan? If so, does any part of that portfolio invest in mutual funds? Many large-cap, index and growth/income mutual funds invest a portion of their holdings to Wal-Mart corporation.
You should review your fund�s Annual Report to see if you do own a share of Wal-Mart or you can check out your fund�s top holdings online at Yahoo Finance or a similar reputable source. It could be difficult to find funds that don�t include Wal-Mart without going to fixed securities or even bond funds. The yields generally aren�t as great but you would divest yourself of the irony of contributing your money towards a corporation you loathe.
