An article found through Google news talks about how Walmart, the world's largest retailer, sent out a memo saying that February's stocks were a total disaster. Do you think this could be the start to a new beginning? Less emphasis on buying foreign over local?
A) Just because Walmart's stocks were a disaster for a one month period does not sound like a new beginning to me. This poor performance may have been instigated by the weather in the recent weeks taking a toll on delivery or maybe it's just a fluke after the holiday seasons.
I think that if Walmart stopped buying foreign than their low price guarantee would cease to exist. This would lead to higher prices, less purchases and worse stock situations.
