The discount retailers continue to produce BIG results. With high fuel prices, many people even those who would never think to shop at a discount retailer have gone that way. Big Lots and the others discounters...think Wal-Mart have exploded recently. However, the stimulus checks have run their course and people will be stretched. Walmart and Target probably see future earnings reduced and this will impact BIG also. And the major catalyst is BIG is being shorted to the tune of 40%!!! Jump on the street is rarely wrong.

No way this growth is sustainable. I believe earnings will not meet expectations and we'll see a 10%+ decline over the next month or two.

Initial Jobless Claims Down – Analyst Blog

Initial claims for unemployment insurance fell by 20,000 this week to 512,000. Last week's numbers were revised slightly higher, so arguably the drop was 18,000, but that's still a nice improvement.
The four-week moving average dropped by 3,000 to 523,750. Since new claims can be volatile from week to week, the four-week moving average is generally considered a better gauge of where we are. The graph below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) shows the history of that average. We are now 135,000 below the peak set back in April. This is a key piece of evidence that the recession is over...
