why shouldn't we all short Amazon and Walmart right now?

Don't they both get all their products from China? Won't they be in a panic to find new suppliers?

Why short and chance losing your ass when you can straight out buy
GOHOKEE • 04/09/25 12:14 PM ET
And if you followed this, you at this very moment made a boat load of money
GOHOKEE • 04/09/25 01:29 PM ET

How do you figure? Go into Walmart and ask for assistance. They have

350 employees in each store on avg. plus distribution and corporate**
Hokebury • 04/09/25 02:43 PM ET
And the ones they have are blocking isles with carts shopping for pickup**

The stock hits might not show up for a quarter.
HokieAl • 04/09/25 11:29 AM ET
No, they'll just charge more
hoosnowahokie • 04/09/25 11:25 AM ET
amazon has a bazillion FBA sellers though

Why wouldn't they be 'sourced' from a more tariff friendly country?
Vtskier1 • 04/09/25 03:03 PM ET
I think there are laws about that
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/09/25 11:52 PM ET
Yep. I tried to start a FBA mail order bride business and it was a disaster
