The deal makes no monetary advantage sense to me for Walmart, so who the hell know's other then the guy(s) who pitched the deal initially. Some people make way too much $ snarfing arse.

Good if the other company is willing to sell out. Look at how many airlines there were and before our daughter worked for northwest and Delta bought them off so it's just the way of corporations. Northwest had unions and Delta didn't and she's making way more with Delta then Northwest ever before. Nothing wrong with one corporation buying out another just to make it even stronger.

Really!?! 3.3 billion; and they can't pay their workers a decent wage, or pay for their healthcare?

Both. A good move, and too late. It might be worth it though if the purchase includes the services of just one or two capable web designers to fix the disaster area that Walmart's horrible website has been since day one. Personally, I think they could have increased both their online and online directed in-store sales by 10% or more by just spending a little time fixing their site without the acquisition.

Good move. Walmart has done an outstanding job of integrating online services and bricks-and-mortar locations. At this point, I think they are the only retailer who might have an advantage over Amazon.

Amazon has a head start, but Walmart has enough capital and revenue to make a big splash if they want to. Amazon only recently started turning a profit, though it has pretty huge revenue.

Never heard of it. Sounds like Walmart got taken by some clever salesmen with some vaporware for $3B. Most of those execs they just acquired will run out the door within the year with their bags of cash to do it again.

With Walmart's money, what is it getting from jet.com that it can't create in-house? This seems more like an effort to buy an up-and-coming competitor than expanding market presence.

I do think that anytime a company can diversify it's appeal to attract a broader audience, it can't be all that bad. The VERY FIRST thought that struck me when I heard about this possible merger, was, "Is it possible for a retailer to become too big to fail"?đŸ¤”
