Why Walmart Is My Problem Child

Walmart ( WMT- Get Report ) is possibly the name that brings me closest to breaking my first rule of trading. What's not endearing about a firm that fights back? While e-commerce in general, and Amazon ( AMZN- Get Report ) in specific was out laying waste to most of the retail sector over the last couple of years, Walmart kept buying up smaller e-businesses such as Jet, and forging strategic alliances as they have with Alphabet ( GOOGL- Get Report ) .

Walmart was a solid performer for this guy in 2017. In fact, the kid took advantage of weakness across the space last year to profit from the likes of Kohl's ( KSS- Get Report ) , and Macy's ( M- Get Report ) as well.
