<> I am recommending the sell of the retailing sector. Why? The reason is simple, no one is buying anything right now. When was the last time you heard of a friend, neighbor, or colleague bought a new car? I tell you that it is obvious all over America (if not the world) put discretionary spending on perma hold a couple of weeks ago. You can rest assured that there isn't a retailer in America (even Walmart) that will have a great quarter. <> Ever since Bush went on prime time consequences..... the retail market has come to a screeching halt that is only slightly less frozen than the cr...

ANF has a 15.27% growth rate, above industry average, but its Forward P/E of about 10 is below the Industry Average PE. In fact, the Current P/E is almost half of ANF's historical 5-yr average. The stock was sold off recently because CFO resigned to switch companies, but given ANF's company record and their growth potential they will either appoint or attract a high-performing CFO.

Weak Employment Report – Analyst Blog
|
|
|
The October employment report came in weaker than expected as the country lost 190,000 jobs, rather than the 175,000 expectation. It was, however, an improvement over the 219,000 lost in September, but worse than the 154,000 jobs lost in August. Both the September and August job losses were revised sharply lower. As of last month it was thought that we lost 263,000 jobs in September and 201,000 in August. So in that context, missing expectations for October by 15,000 does not seem that bad. Of course, it is bad if you happen to be one of those losing your job. Based on the establishment sur...

Easy Comps Help Retail Sales – Analyst Blog
|
|
|
Easy comparisons and relatively favorable weather helped increase same-store sales in the typically weak month of October for retailers, up 1.8% from the year-earlier level but below the 2% growth expectation. Results for this series, which tracks data for stores open at least a year from 30 major retailers, had come ahead of expectations the last two months.
As a result of the financial crisis last fall, conditions were extremely bad in October of last year, when retail sales were down 4.1%.
October is typically a weak month for retailers, sandwiched as it is between the active shopping peri...

Checking on sales at Aeropostale and Abercrombie & Fitch
Filed under: Abercrombie and Fitch (ANF), American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) <> Could we see a bit of a drop from American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) today? The retailer announced that its October same-store sales fell 5%, when the Street expected an increase of 1.7%. This disparity certainly seems to suggest that we could see the stock fall in today's trading action. The equity may find a measure of support from its 10-week moving average, which has filled this role throughout the stock's calendar-year rally. There seems to be some long-term support from AEO's 10-, 20-, and 50-month moving aver...
