The ability to find closely correlated positions to Walmart could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Walmart when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Walmart - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Walmart to buy it.
