GBA Presents: THE GREEN MARKET

RFID IN WALMART:Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar raised the firm's price target on Impinj to $75 from $60 and reiterated an Overweight rating on the shares after visiting a few local Walmart stores in the southeastern United States as well as the Chicagoland area and noticing radio-frequency identification, or RFID, tags being used across the clothing department. Kumar believes this is a tailwind for Impinj, "as it appears another major customer is moving toward a RFID tagging system." It also speaks to the size of the broader opportunity of RFID, Kumar told investors in a research note. Further, the analyst argued that Walmart utilizing the technology, even just initially in clothing, is a "clear demonstration of the value of RFID more broadly."

While Kumar didn't notice RFID tagging being used in any other sections of Walmart during his visits, he believes the use in the clothing department implies that Walmart has started the process of moving toward an RFID tagging system for its products. He saw two distinct types of tags at the Walmart stores he visited. The first tag was used on major Walmart brands with these having the RFID tags built into the original manufacturer tag itself. The analyst noted that this type of tagging can only come from an internal mandate by Walmart, as the antenna and chip are built directly into the original product makers' tags. The second tag he saw was used on non-house brands for Walmart, which featured a second tag in addition to the original manufacturer tag. In his opinion, both of these directives show that Walmart is committed to its RFID initiative.

:D
 
I am in the country without a lighter. Might as well be in a war without a gun.

I thought I would look good today, up early, I drove the darn Jeep and I hadn't done it in a while so it was a tough start-- I kicked up alot of gravel but I did get it out and she drove great and then I took an hour and washed her by hand. Soap everywhere so many surfaces, now they just strap cars together 1, 2, 3, 4 and that's it al pre- fab here with The Wagoneer corner after corner, surface after surface and all very green fungi from the trees and moisture here in the valley...

The wife loses it over the skid marks in the driveway. - can't win Van.

I feel the same way about this market...Are we even going to make it to the 18th.-?

The cross currents are crazy..- We were supposed to get this good Covid news and we did that Pill... and the numbers are expected to show something any day if not already.. The slope is DOWN! DOWN SLOPE!

But these damn spending bills & Biden's Give away & with House and Senate stalling, all of this has made Mr market not celebrate the vaccine news.. !!and I had counted on that for a Big Move Up... That's why I started this whole Green Garden in the first place.

Instead we have these counter winds about the world ending. and the shipping and port logistics problem and lack of workers & Vietnam closing and the list goes on and on.

Anyway BUY BOX!<===

  • Box(NYSE:BOX) has made a sudden leg higher this hour,up 4.2%, on takeover speculation that ropes in a tech giant prone to making waves.
  • The cloud management content company is still at the center of takeover speculation and Betaville reports that Salesforce.com (CRM+0.8%) is one of its potential acquirers, and may be working with advisers on studying an approach.
  • The customer relationship management giant has been tracking Box ever since the latter fell out with Starboard Value (one of its largest shareholders) after Box prevailed in a proxy fight over the CEO and board members, according to Betaville.
  • And there's chatter that Salesforce is working with Bank of America on determining the feasibility of a takeover.

Stoney!

Which company embeds RFID chips in these?

Because before we have your autonomous truck lanes, and autonomous vehicles in general, they'll need one of these every ten feet with some sort of dumbed-down (cheap) passive rfid technology in them.

Probably better to just embed magnets deep in the existing pavement though. Deep enough to not require replacement every time they resurface the asphalt. Visual lane identification I dare say will only be effective 90% of the time at best. That missing 10% will be a non-starter for the whole movement.

Start a factory that manufactures steel magnets Stoney!!!!
You'll be a magnet magnate!

The Zebra!!!!!
buy buy buy!
I forget, what does The Zebra do?
 
> It totally will work. The future is here. Just as I'm old. WTF.
Visual lane id will work on their test runs in Arizona and SoCal, but I wanna see it work in the NE corridor in February. Or are they banking on global warming eliminating snow?
