Tune in as @IrrationalMrkts and @Shawn_OMalley_ discuss Walmart and how it grew from Sam Walton’s small-town five-and-dime into a retail giant. Today, it also makes money from e-commerce, a marketplace, advertising and memberships.
They cover the scale advantages behind Walmart’s everyday low prices, how its suppliers end up financing its inventory, and why its power over those suppliers continues to draw antitrust scrutiny.

Tune in as @MnkeDaniel and @Shawn_OMalley_ revisit Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), the advertising machine behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp that reaches 3.6 billion people every day and just grew ad revenue 27% to a nearly $240 billion annual run rate.
Yet the stock trades more than 20% below its highs.
The money is going out even faster than it’s coming in. Operating margins fell from 43% to 31% in a single year, quarterly free cash flow collapsed from $8.5 billion to $784 million, and capex guidance now sits at $130–145 billion this year — with analysts penciling in $200 billion for next.
In this episode, Daniel and Shawn dig into what all that spending actually buys.

Is the Alphabet we own still the one that we bought last year?
