From thestreet.com excerpt Barnes & Noble (BKS:NYSE) and barnesandnoble.com (BNBN:Nasdaq) will be eminently successful in that this company enjoys the best of both possible worlds. Regardless of who is selling books, customers will have to go to Barnes & Noble, which, after it completes its acquisition of Ingram, will become the largest book distributor in America. That was a brilliant move. While Wal-Mart (WMT:NYSE) still lacks an online presence, it has ample resources to spend to become an overnight presence on the Internet. As long as Wal-Mart executes properly, (and doesn't it always?), it will blow away the competition, here, there or anywhere! Will some brick-and-mortar companies fail to establish a successful online presence? You bet. But don't look for the big guys to fail. They are too good at what they do, and after all, the Internet is only an additional means to sell merchandise. Regards neil
