$AMZN has too bigger a lead – $WMT so far behind and they are in 2nd place – something will come up no doubt – Bezos is so very far ahead of the curve. I suspect more of these names will fall by the wayside
its only a matter of time before the brick and mortary stores are done
personally I like the plastic wrap/fastener space
the materials used to ship products from any online saleNo wonder our seas are filling with plastic & we have “global warming” 😉 … we’re shipping stuff 1,000 miles away & transporting it by land/sea/rail — rather than just taking a short trip to local brick-and-mortuary store … and soon CASH will disappear — as in the JETSONs, we’ll all be using CREDITs (maybe AMAZON credits down the road – to buy everything).
yeop
that I was I been researching companies with innovative materials that are not just recyclable (people are to lazy to recycle) but biodegradable. I do forsee new ways of recycling coming forward as more products are shipped to peoples place of residents – I also see a new place the government can tax in the name of the environment.Macy’s Up After Q4 Earnings With Comp Sales Beat and Strong Outlook

Foot Locker said late last month that it was raising its dividend by 11% to 34.5 cents a share, and that its board had approved a $230 million capital expenditure program for the year. Some of that cash will boost its digital operations, data analytics and point-of-sales software. Most will be spent on its physical stores.
Wedbush noted last week, ahead of earnings, that it feels Foot Locker “is closer to an inflection though it won’t take place overnight.” Its basketball segment is stabilizing, said analysts, and Foot Locker’s new products have gotten a good response.
