• Will 'This Brick-And-Mortar' Giant Dominate Online?

  By Joseph Harry - May 24, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, WMT

  The online merchant was, for a good amount of time, a unique entity. An entity that also enjoyed a unique and wide moat. Is this still the case, however?

  It seems that the drawbridge has slowly been lowered over the former online merchant moat, and now the big "brick-and-mortar" stores are crossing the bridge. The barriers of entry for online sellers is being lowered, and now retail companies like Wal-Mart more »

• Did Google Admit Defeat?

  By Tyler Wofford - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, GOOG

  Did Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) wave the white flag as a sign of defeat to Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY)? Surely not. Google is far larger, far more established, and even more well known than these other two companies, yet it recently announced that it plans to shut down Google Checkout. What are its future plans, and did they admit defeat?

  By Chad Henage - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, BBY, EBAY, TGT, WMT |

  When a $226 billion a year business is about to change, it makes sense for investors to pay close attention to the potential winners and losers. This is exactly what's happening with Internet sales and the potential behind the "Marketplace Fairness Act." If passed, this act would require sales tax collection from any online retailer with sales over $1 million. This bill has the potential to change how customers more »

• Sell in May and Go Away: How Dumb Is That?

  By William Bias - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: EBAY, LNN, DIS

  The “Sell in May and Go Away” concept originates with Wall Street evidence suggesting that the stock market performs at its worst from May-September.

  First, an investor who subscribes to this philosophy will incur commission costs and capital gains taxes in taxable accounts more »
