I'm moving my portfolio more towards a positive slant and this is my newest entry.

I purchased GPS this am when the market responded amazingly well to terrible news on the foreclosure front and inflation front.  The broader market choose to look at the Wal-Mart numbers and that is a good sign for the next few months.

In a stronger market climate, I think that GPS is in great shape to continue with strong earnings and growth.  I needed a retail play to get some better diversity and this is my SocialPick for what it is worth.

Gap (NYSE:GPS) made a surprise appointment with Glenn Murphy taking over as Chairman. Some point to his lack of apparel expertise and shriek. Others point to his successful retail background and shout hurray its time for a change. Well its time for something at Gap. The stock has done nothing for something like three years.

After a six month search its a relief that someone will take the job. Gap may have learned a few things about itself as it interviewed a variety of candidates. While we always point to the CEO as the knight in shining armor we should also look at the board of dir...

Consumer spending falls victim to debt repayment

Filed under: Costco Wholesale (COST), Gap Inc (GPS), Federal Reserve, Recession

<>Consumer borrowing fell for the eighth straight month in September. This record-setting streak is due largely to tightening by lenders, unemployment and the conservative preference to pay down debt rather than spend. This widespread fit of fiscal responsibility, economists fret, could prevent a recovery from taking root, since consumer spending is responsible for 70% of the U.S. economy. This conventional thinking, of course, overlooks the fact that an eventual increase in spending that isn't fueled by consumer s...

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...

Stock Market News for November 6, 2009 – Market News

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%.
