I guess then...

Walmart and their "Brain Trust" doesn't know what they are doing... gearing up for the future...

Perhaps

Walmart has not seen the 2014 report regarding "Online Shopping"

*SMILES*

This company over time will look like an e-commerce company," Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon told investors gathered at Wal-Mart's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Wal-Mart's plan includes doubling the number of its large warehouses focused on e-commerce sales to 10 in 2016, Reuters reported. It now has the ability to ship to most of the United States in one day.



The strategy by the world's biggest bricks-and-mortar retailer, which includes slowing the pace of new store openings, is centered on cracking the dominance of Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) in online retailing and face off against other rivals like Target (TGT.N).

Why all the fuss about "Brick & Mortar" when the world's largest retailer (who is carrying the GenUltimate! line) is telling it's investors that it is focusing on it's on-line sales and development?

Perhaps they know better???

Really???

Imagine that!!

I believe this announcement calls for a full blown investigation!

Walmart, obviously, does not know what they are talking about...

Whoa! So now online is irrelevant? Why go after low hanging fruit, right. Let's ignore the quickest path to the consumer while opening up brick and mortar opportunities?

Let's not get away from the goal of selling strips here. If DECN were to grab a disproportionate share of online sales while building their brick and mortar I think all shareholders would be happy don't you? So where is the harm in building a global presence?
