I don't go to Walmart because part of my shopping experience is the dinging of nice cars. So, if I am going to shop in person I stick to Union Square in SF - of if I'm really in a good mood I head right on over to the Cisco parking lot. *snicker*

(just kidding)

Glenn, the amount of people shopping on the Internet is, remarkably small. Why??
because unlike Michelle. Would you believe they're shopping @ Wal-Mart???
Ps
The reason we have to respect the Wall-Mart shopper's is, because there's more of them,
than us.


James,

This is the point. The amount of people shopping on the net is insignificant and so many argue that the large established retail chains cannot compete in the e-commerce space. I suspect they just do not want to waste the money since the equity markets through Morgan Stanley are not throwing money at them. They turn a profit instead.
