Even in hard times people don't stop buying. They may re-evaluate how they spend and they may look for alternate ways to conserve but they don't stop shopping. Most consumers instead come to the conclusion that they need to shop smarter and the warehouse outlets like Costco offer an opportunity for most folks to feel like they are shopping smarter. Couple this with falling gas prices and we get a little breathing room, which usually stimulates a favorable perception, which then leads to more buying.

<> 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...

Consumer spending falls victim to debt repayment
Retail sales: Signs of life, but not yet a rising tide
Filed under: Wal-Mart (WMT), Target Corp. (TGT), Costco Wholesale (COST), Gap Inc (GPS), Nordstrom, Inc (JWN)  There's a chill in the air and a slight up-tick in confidence. Holiday discounts are coming a bit earlier, too. For retailers, this has been a great combination, leading to the second consecutive month in which retail sales increased.
<>This follows more than a year of drops. Consumers aren't going crazy, but they are loosening their wallets a little bit. Consumer spending accounts for 70% of the U.S. economy, and the coming holiday season is where the action is -- for the retail secto...

A drop in the number of newly laid-off workers and upbeat remarks from bellwether Cisco Systems injected confidence about an economic recovery ahead of this morning’s highly expected October jobs report, propelling the Dow average to its first close above 10,000 in two weeks. Cisco Systems’ (NASDAQ:CSCO) CEO John Chambers said he now sees a global economic recovery, fueling a rebound in the company’s sales this quarter. The Dow average jumped 203 points, or 2%, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ, riding high on Cisco’s forecast, bolted up 50 points or about 2.4%. <>All ten S&P 500 indust...

Employment Report – First Read – Analyst Blog

The U.S. economy lost 190,000 jobs in October, higher than the 175,000 expected. Unemployment rate went up to 10.2%, the highest since 1983. This continued labor market weakness even in the face of an otherwise growing economy (the economy grew 3.5% in the third quarter) remains a major headwind at this stage of the economic cycle.
On the positive side, the number of jobs lost in October was the lowest since August 2008. Also, the previously reported August and September 2009 job loss numbers were revised upwards – a total of 91,000 fewer jobs were lost than originally reported.
The dec...
