Rumor has it: a run on Walmart (vanity)

A usually reliable source informs me that the Walmarts in the area are doing land office business. Something like 50% more than normal, with one store having over double expected.

I don't know of any specific news that would drive this, perhaps the smelly Walmart shoppers are prepping for a long Dark Winter?

Speculation, or even better, facts invited...

Will that help my Walmart stock on Monday to hit $200 per share 😉

Biden has promised to use the coronavirus to ignore state rights, once he’s installed. That suggests something bigger to me.

I am a smelly walmart shopper you elitist pig.

[COBOL2Java]

All aboard the WalMart express!

Anecdotal: Costco and Walmart doing a lot of business today. Birmingham AL area.

I’m really the wrong person to ask for stock advice, unless you plan to do the opposite of what I say!

Maybe in part to patriots dropping Amazon Prime?

I have nothing to offer on the Walmart story, but I just learned from you a phrase that is way bitchin'.

[Captain Peter Blood]

All probably have multiple health problems.

Can confirm, the Walmart in my town is selling stuff out fast. Bacon, for example, clears within a couple of days of being stocked. It’s not across the whole store though. You can find real butter but the non-dairy stuff is going fast. Also no shortage of toilet paper or paper towels.

“Dr. Johnson, you smell.”

“No, Madam, you smell, I stink.”

I am one of those smelly Walmart shoppers. I haven’t seen any lines.

I know Walmart is a monopoly. I notice how they beat the advocado board, now they sell avocados for 40 cents.

People trying to outfox inflation.

Kind of like picking up nickels in front of a ‘dozer.

[Analogisbetter]

I didn’t consider that.

Um, some of us like to save money. Why does that make people smelly?

That certainly wouldn’t hurt Walmart and Costco!

Ah! that might be it, or part of it Mil and civil servants just got paid as well.
