Big box retailers are showing significant signs
of weakness. Analysts suggest the $9.2 billion
Dollar Tree buyout by Family Dollar could
possibly take down bargain conglomerate
Walmart. Recognizing they have a problem
with seven consecutive quarters of negative
traffic, Walmart is pivoting to focus on
e-commerce and smaller-format stores.

miles of customers lined up for purchase. e phenom
cooled when reports of the device pocket bending
and getting tangled up in the users hair. ey will
likely have the creases ironed out of the Apple iWatch
(described by Apple as a "fitness companion") when it
is released in early 2015. e device looks promising,
besides the physical tap it gives you as a notification.
