This is a stock I am gonna get my dad and seems good. Decent dividend. These are the giants in store credit carts. Like how every store has their own credit card. They do it through Synchronicity. They recently lost a big customer to Capital One but still seem to own the space.
Synchrony is the largest provider of private label credit cards in the U.S. The company provides private label credit cards for such brands as Amazon, Cathay Pacific, CheapOAir, OneTravel,[16] Lowe’s,[17]Guitar Center,[18] Gap,[19] BP,[20] Ashley HomeStores,[21] Discount Tire,[21] J.C. Penney, and P. C. Richard & Son.[21]
In 2019, Synchrony expanded its auto and home acceptance locations and value propositions.[22] Working with the Discover Network, the Synchrony HOME Credit Card can be used by consumers to finance their home needs at more than a million large, medium, and small retail locations nationwide. [23]Synchrony also increased its Car Care acceptance network to more than 500,000 locations across 25 categories including gas, auto parts and service, car washes, parking, and ride sharing. [24]
Synchrony has long counted some of the country’s biggest retailers as its partners, including TJX Cos., Gap Inc. and, yes, online giant Amazon.com Inc. Now, the credit-card issuer has set its sights on nabbing big partners outside traditional retail, such as airlines and car companies. It’s also expanding into new industries with its CareCredit arm, which offers point-of-sale financing at medical offices, veterinary clinics and day spas.
The decision to diversify comes at a crucial time: Last year, Walmart Inc. opted to move its co-brand and private-label credit card programs from Synchrony to Capital One Financial Corp. Meanwhile, store credit-card issuers are having to deal with upstart technology companies offering easy access to personal loans at checkout.
Store-card issuers are “now faced with more competition at the point of sale,” said Paul Siegfried, who leads the credit-card business at TransUnion. “It’s not just about the other credit cards in your wallet versus the private-label card. They’re now presenting another payment option to the consumer right there at the point of sale.”
This summer Synchrony will mark its fifth anniversary of going public, but its history can be traced back to the Great Depression, when its former parent, General Electric Co., created the unit to help Americans finance appliance purchases.
Seeking Partners
Since losing the relationship with Walmart last year, Synchrony has renewed agreements with three of its of largest card partners: Lowe’s Cos., J.C. Penney Co. and Walmart subsidiary Sam’s Club. PayPal Holdings Inc., meanwhile, has taken Walmart’s spot on the list of Synchrony’s five largest partners, based on interest and fees from loans.

CVS gonna be a heath clinic now. Everything from respiratory therapy to bloodwork to fixing your teeth
Get ready for less retail floor space and more room for health care services at one of your local CVS stores.
CVS Health is poised to expand a concept store focused on health care to 1,500 locations by the end of 2021, the company said Tuesday.
The drugstore chain launched the concept store, called HealthHUB, in the Houston area earlier this year.
The premise stems from the company's effort to reduce its reliance on sales of retail goods and increase its commitment to health care services. The company recently closed 46 struggling stores as it competes with Amazon and other retail rivals for customers.
It's also reducing floor space for slow-selling items like greeting cards and adding space in hundreds of stores for teeth-straightening service SmileDirectClub.
At the HealthHUBs, more than 20% of the floor space is devoted to health care services like wellness and personalized care.
For example, HealthHUB stores have space for yoga classes and extra room for CVS Minute nurse practitioners to perform services such as phlebotomy, diabetic screening and sleep apnea assessment.

So many people don't understand the ending of Trading Places. I didn't until somewhat recently. I had a general idea but didn't totally know the process.

You had a great day today at least. I honestly don't hate it outside of thinking the MMJ stocks are absurd and ones I'd dump after their next surge.
