| 0:00.0 | The grocery wars are on. Motley full money starts now. |
| 0:21.0 | Welcome to Motley full money. I'm Dee Drobuller here with Bill Barker. Bill, how are you today? |
| 0:25.3 | I'm well, thanks for asking. I do hear it. We're sort of wrapping up retail week here with Walmart. |
| 0:32.1 | For me, it's the it's the biggest bell weather. On the show yesterday, we had Jason Moser, Dylan Lewis. |
| 0:37.3 | They talked Target. The news was not so great for Target, but Walmart delivered today. |
| 0:43.0 | So literally in this case, not only were comparable sales up 6.4%, but E-commerce was up 24%. |
| 0:49.9 | Feels like it's been a bit of a long journey for Walmart and E-commerce, but I don't know. I think |

| 1:52.2 | either. They're not prime. They're doing just about everything right now. It's reflective in the |
| 2:01.0 | stock, which was hitting all time highs last week, sold off a little bit today, despite the |
| 2:07.7 | good earnings report and upgraded guidance. A lot of good news, but when you're at an all-time |
| 2:15.4 | high, then maybe you are just happy to stay close to it after you've reported earnings. |
