$AMZN will most certainly rebound.

I don't understand what people see in #ROKU? Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the only thing the company does is make products that are just like the Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Google Chromecast and a dozen other similar products?

$ROKU, $AMZN, $GOOGL

Arguments well put. I'm with you on $AMZN.

This article hits the nail on the head. The whole "contest" was a lot to do about nothing. Just a marketing gimmick to get Amazon in the news and to get the "REAL" contenders to up their offerings by making them think there was more competition than there really was. $AMZN

This is a fascinating article on #Amazon. But isn't possible you are reading too into this decision? Perhaps those cities simply made the best offer and provided the most perks in the form of tax breaks, etc. $AMZN

Unethical... sure. But illegal? How is it illegal that #Amazon exploited some weaknesses in the #eBay system? Violating a website's terms of use is grounds for being suspended or kicked off that site, but you can't go to jail for it. How can eBay claim this is illegal behavior? $AMZN $EBAY

It's mostly #Amazon. $AMZN is absolutely wiping other companies out.

Yet #Amazon is the one that has made the foray into #pharma. Seems like it might have made more sense for #Apple to do that or for Amazon to have made health more of a central focus of its tech. $AAPL $AMZN

Thank you for this insight into being a seller on Walmart, as this was an area I was not familiar. But I can tell you that as a customer, Walmart is ages behind Amazon and other competitors.

Why can I get an item from Amazon in 1 to days, but on Walmart.com it can take a week or more? Why if I want to do an instore pickup, do they waste time and money to ship the item my local Walmart, when I know for a fact it's in the store already? That makes no sense.

Compare this with BestBuy. I place an order online. Within 30 minutes I'm told I can go pick it up. In under 3 minutes I am in and out of the store. I placed a similar order at Walmart. It took a week to arrive (even though it was also sold in store). Then it took an hour and half to pick it up. Why? There was no one manning the pick up counter. Even after having customer service announce over the PA system for someone multuple times, no one showed up. When someone finally did, the person didn't know how to process it. When someone finally arrived who could, they went to the warehouse for a very very long time. When I asked why, she said they had to manually scan with her eyes for my name on every box till she found it. That there was no rhyme or reason to how it was scanned. When the item was finally handed to me, the box was badly damaged as was the item inside.

This is anything but efficient! Bullish on $AMZN and $BBY, Bearish on $WMT.

Agreed. I'd say the only company that has ouysourced it's customer service abroad, yet still offers excellent customer service is #Amazon. One of the reasons I'm bullish on $AMZN. It shows you CAN have good customer service while still getting the savings from outsourcing.
