>>Reply: There may be some initial retreat from etail stocks in Spring, the traditional slow season for consumer goods sales. But we also see that once final holiday sales figures are released that investors may balance the slow season backlash with the fact that 1 in 5 consumers in the U.S. bought Christmas gifts over the Web. Move ahead to holiday season 1999 and we forecast over half of all gifts may be purchased over the Web. Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT - news) market cap is $181 billion. Our hypothesis goes like this: the two dozen etailers led by Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN - news) have already eaten Wal-Mart's breakfast, can lunch and dinner be far off?
