ownership makes their living from another corporation which gets rent from Wal-Mart stores. Then how does the actual Wal-Mart stores get income, pay their bills, and produce a profit?

See post 93. If you own WM stock, how’s that working out the last ten years or so?
I don’t see much of a rise in value or dividends.

WM last split in 1999, its price hasn’t kept up since, and dividend is maybe 2% per year. I don’t think they produce that much profit.
Contrast with Microsoft, which puts itself in position to compete in another way.
