Walmart

So everyone knows that Walmart most of the time has the lowest price. According to CNN.com Walmart is getting ready for another round of promotions just like the ones on black Friday. Do they really have to do it? Walmart already brings in loads of money even with out these promotions, I am not complaining about this at all. My question in this; Do you think that Walmart is turning into a monopoly by trying to do this again with the 2nd round of promtions? Do they really have to do it because of low sales or are they doing this to make more money? This is definitly somthing to think about.

Wal-Mart is trying to attone for what proved to be a Black Friday fiasco around the country, I believe. Usually, Wal-Mart is diligent in supplying adequate amounts of promotional items in advance of the holidays, but I noticed in my shopping that there were a few Wal-Marts that I visited that were grossly understocked or even lacking some sale items altogether. Whether it be from Wal-Mart's suppliers not anticipating demand, or grossly undersupplying, there sould be something done to make up for the errors. I believe it is a sound idea, regardless of the circumstances - Wal-Mart is trying to catch the second wave of shoppers who, for whatever reason, missed the items they wanted to buy on Black Friday, or are just now starting their shopping. I don't necessarily support all of Wal-Mart's practices, but this seems to be very savvy of them.
