$WMT coming after you!

I like Walmart and Walmart.com, it's my favorite physical store (kind of ashamed to admit it though).
I have had a more pleasant experience and overall satisfaction with Walmart, then Amazon

Amazon kind of sometimes sells weird... brandless, packageless, default China stuff thrown into a packaging box....leaves you scratching your head what did I just order, and if it's a good, quality deal...

I think I read recently somewhere...that Amazon products, out of all retailers, ranked the highest in cancer-causing chemicals.

Beyond the scope of trading, I know $WMT pretty well. McMillon is an experienced and very bright chap, a breath of fresh air for the Company. My take is, $WMT may not eat $AMZN's lunch, but McMillon will definitely keep them up at night. Don't be ashamed, there's a reason why $WMT has dominated retail. Thanks for your input lawrence...

walmart.com has all this stuff sold by third party sellers with either ridiculous prices or shipping charges. I only use it to buy in store pickup, but even then almost everytime I buy I have to get a new password. Finally I typed in F*^CKY***walmaet and it went right through.
