<> 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...

The latest economic developments seem to support a rebound to US consumer confidence and hence improvement to retailers' earnings. The immediate drivers that come to mind include; - Strength of the US$ against EUR and GBP - Decrease in oil prices will help improve US economic indicators due to the dependence on oil and increase household disposable income <> JCP, Wal-Mart and Macy's have already posted earnings that exceeded analysts' estimates, but issued cautious forecasts for the second half of the year amid concerns on slow consumer spending, as published in an article...

<>U.S. stocks posted modest gains Friday even as a surprisingly weak jobs report failed to deter investors from taking a broader view that the economy is improving. Analysts’ upgrade of General Electric and Amazon.com helped the market keep its head above water as many on the Street averred the worst for the labor market was over. Although the unemployment rate – at its highest level in 26 years – aggravated concerns about consumer spending, it nevertheless reassured some investors that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates near historically low levels in the near future. <><><><><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

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...

(TGT), Best Buy (BBY) <> Once upon a time, retailers measured success by the number of people walking by in the mall, how many entered the store, the percentage they spent, and basket size. Now, a world of zeroes and ones has changed their perspective entirely. Social media is expected to be the star during the coming holiday season, with retailers pushing Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter content to get in front of consumers and affect either online or in-store purch...

After the retail sector rout, JCPenney is still standing
Filed under: Penney (J.C.) (JCP), Stocks to Buy  Simply, JCPenney (NYSE: JCP) is a retail sector survivor, which is why I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for the company, first recommended on April 13, 2009 at a price of $26.52. If you bought JCP in April, you're up 30%.
JCP has effectively aligned product quality/style with its target demographic, and also prudently and tactfully invested new brands. Meanwhile, effective inventory management and expense controls have aided the bottom line. Modest new store expansion plans for FY2010 and FY2011 are also consistent with a business model that's been...
