That's a valid point Mitch. I have some friends who go to Barnes & Noble to peruse books, then order them from #Amazon right from their mobile devices, and get that same book later in the day. $BKS$AMZN
I just don't see how $BKS can ever hope to compete with power houses such as #Amazon. Barnes & Noble has much higher costs due to having to maintain brick and mortar stores. And now that $AMZN is offering same day delivery on many items, they are eating away at one of the few competitive advantages that $BKS could offer - getting items right away.
$WMT is so far behind the times, any added tech can only help its e-commerce efforts. Acquiring #Jet is a move in the right direction. But the pairing will not be a case of 2+2 equals 5, and they still will be no match for $AMZN. Not too mention, trying to integrate the two sites likely be worse than the ObamaCare site snafu.
I agree. #Amazon ($AMZN) is exceptionally innovative. #Walmart ($WMT) is exceptionally behind the times (any one who has ever used instore pickup knows what I mean - waiting an hour for someone to visually check each box for your name since they have no tracking technology). But #Jet is decidedly average. The pairing won't help Walmart much.
#Walmart is paying $3 billion for #Jet? Why? So not impressed with that company. I know Walmart is being hurt by #Amazon, but Jet isn't the answer. $WMT$AMZN
@[Stock Loverrrrr](user:30664), do you mean in general or in the streaming video market? #Amazon is already far larger than #Netflix as a company. But Prime members get its streaming for free. Hard for Netflix to compete with that. $AMZN$NFLX
Interesting to see how much of an impact $AMZN is having all over the world. As it keeps expanding, the price will continue to keep rising. Just as you thought, #Amazon was at it's biggest, it keeps building. I'm interested to see if Amazon will ever be on the same level as Netflix. Never say never with that kind of stuff, especially with Amazon's deep pockets.

Wal-Mart And Jet.com: How Does The Combination Compare With Amazon?
@[Don Dion](user:18204), you are wise to be cautious. You right that it will take time for #Walmart to see any benefit. Plus, as I just said on @[Leigh Drogen](user:5239)'s similar article here: www.talkmarkets.com/.../will-jetcom-save-walmart-from-amazons-fury, Jet is no Amazon!

Ebay Acquiring Companies to Improve User Experience and Conversion
Impressed #eBay is being so aggressive with it's acquisitions. They've let #Amazon completely eclipse them when it comes to innovation. $EBAY $AMZN.
