Walmart, Google partner to compete against Amazon

A rally in tech stocks boosted the markets overall yesterday.  The Dow saw its best day since April, rising 196 points.  The Nasdaq added 84.  Today could be a different story, with Wall Street dropping on Trump’s comments from his rally in Phoenix, Arizona.

Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) are partnering up to compete with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).  Walmart will add hundreds of thousands of items to Google's online-shopping market, Google Express.  And customers will be able to make voice-activated purchases from Walmart using Google's Virtual Assistant as a challenge to Amazon's Alexa.

And if you are feeling lucky?  Get a Powerball ticket.  The jackpot swelling to $700 million dollars, the second largest in U.S. history.  The next drawing is tonight.  Good luck!
