Let me sum up the remainder of the thread:

"Wal Mart sucks!"
"No they don't, you stinkin' liberal commie symp!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"

Repeat.

The article doesn't state how much money Walmart has in the Putnam accounts. Since they're a public company, is this information available?

Also the article didn't state that they were pulling out their money, just eliminating Putnam as a choice for future employees. Course doing that is the next step.

Putnam is a subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, tenant on floors 97 - 100 in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Two hundred and ninety-five Marsh employees were killed on 9/11.

Two years later, Putnam drops over 9 billion.

Not a good start to the new millenium for the venerable insurance brokerage firm.

[Cicero]

I got involved with Putnam in a minor way back about 20 years ago, and I concluded that they were crooked back then.

No big deal, Walmart probably only has one or two employees with 401k's.
