I agree that these two companies need to figure out a way to compete with the Amazons of the world, but at least for the next few years I like these stocks. I've been buying both. Nice purchase FerdiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330040244289368427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-36368817374120530862016-06-28T22:51:08.604-07:002016-06-28T22:51:08.604-07:00Hi Captain Dividend -- I haven't heard from yo...Hi Captain Dividend -- I haven't heard from you in a while! Great to see you back!<br /><br />I'm also not impressed with WMT's recent dividend raises (now 3 small raises in a row...) but I think the company is repositioning itself and will start to grow EPS in the near future, allowing it to increase dividends more substantially.

I agree WMT is a good recession stock. Also, I think WMT is making the right strategic moves to reposition itself to be competitive in the e-commerce space. It certainly has the muscle to do it and to (eventually) compete with the likes of Amazon.

Hopefully the e-commerce picks up for them. I was not impressed with their last dividend raise although it was probably smart not to raise it too much. I just want to see more growth.

It's ready for when the recession hits. Yes- WHEN it hits. But it also does fairly well on a regular market as well because the company does such a good job at cutting the competition in more rural areas.
