I actually think an Apple/Netflix merger makes a lot of sense. Apple sucks at online services and netflix could use the deep pockets.
There's no reason that Apple couldn't build a Netflix competitor and then ban Netflix from its mobile device platforms.
If Amazon does actually buy Target I would look at CVS start delivering prescriptions and equipment directly to homes via Amazon's distribution system. This is yet another reason not to go to a competitor.
I would also look at all Targets to become order pick-ups for rural and high crime areas.
For what purpose? Amazon's goal is to kill off traditional retail, as far as I can tell. Big box stores like Target are failing because their business model can't compete. Amazon already bought Whole Foods, which gives them a large enough physical presence to do whatever it is they're going to do with it. Integrating that business with the rest of Amazon will already take years- why complicate it further? My guess? G…

Umm, isn't that highly illegal? If you make a good profit and it can be traced to your rumor, I don't think the SEC finds that very funny.
True, but as you can see from SEC's stance of pump and dump schemes on altcoins, there are ways of blurring the lines of legality.

Amazon wouldn’t have brought Wholefoods if according to your logic. They can use Targets physical location to cover a lot of last mile delivery or more products to have those 2 hour deliveries.
If target could more intelligently replace those inferior and pricier products with their cheaper, Amazon-based alternative, then Target would provide a more competitive buying experience.
But Target is locked in with old brands and not necessarily the best ones in the market for their given vertical.
Seems like an extremely simple fix, but maybe Target is mired in longer term contracts with big brands that they can't break.
As a quick example, is Bic still the best manufacturer of the best available pens?
This actually gives Amazon a backdoor entrance to CVS/Caremark medication distribution. You see CVS has been slowing down building new free standing locations because they've taken over all of Target's pharmacy.

Seems like it. Because Target is an expensive and nonsensical acquisition for Amazon. Also, even if it were a real possibility - I really hope not. We don't need more monopolies.
