Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

It's the Motley Fool Money Radio Show. I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio this week

Hey, hey. We've got billion-dollar deals and a high-flying IPO.

We will dip into the full mailbag and as always we'll give you an inside look at the stocks on our radar.

But with just two weeks to go before Black Friday, let's start with retail.

Shares of Walmart hitting a new all-time high this week after third quarter profits came in higher than expected

and same-store sales rose for the first time in nearly two years.

Jeff Fisher, this was a big quarter for them.

It was and the shares gained 4.7% on the news, which was their biggest one-day gain since 2008.

It's pretty big. How many billions is that? It does tell you what an exciting stock it may or may not be to own.

But it's not all happy in Walmart world still.

You're right, Chris. Same-store sales in the US did increase for the first time in seven quarters,

but only by 0.5%. Traffic still went down. Traffic dipped 0.7%.

The average ticket size was a little larger and that's what helped.

So Walmart is still struggling to reorganize itself.

The new CEO is opening smaller footprint stores and trying to drum up new traffic that way.

But overall they have their work cut out for them as the lowest cost retailer.

They're hoping that falling gas prices will help them.
