Filed under: Stocks to Buy  Readers of this space know that the retail sector/apparel is best avoided: the era of the frugal consumer and a surplus of store chains has led to challenging conditions for retailers, to say the least.

The argument here is that Macy's will be able to combine right-sizing of its chain and rigorous cost cuts with established brands (the Macy's chain also runs the upscale Bloomingdale's chain) to survive the downturn. Wall Street doesn't expect any improvement near-term, forecasting a 6-10% revenue decline f...

Macy's has had too many losses this quarter on y-o-y growth which was just the way GAP also headed 2-3 years back and Circuit City just before. Time to sink these plebians and get on a new horse. Did anyone bother to look at the itemized April retail sales data yesterday morning before they went to work? Or did everyone just jump on the headline figure, which showed a broad-based decline on the month of 0.4% vs. 0.1% expected? (That disappointment sent the Dow Jones plunging nearly 200 points during the day.) Retail sales data comprises a vast range of goods, from Nintendo (NTDOY.PK...

5/15 - "Retailer Macy's (NYSE: M) first fiscal quarter wasn't that bad, at least in terms of the analyst game...However, does this news excite me? Not necessarily...First, the overall top line declined almost 3%, coming in at $5.7 billion. Second, and perhaps even more telling, same-store sales were weak during the quarter, decreasing by 2.6%...And cash has been decreasing on the balance sheet. Oh, and gross margin went down, too."
"I'm not putting the company on my list of investment ideas right now, even though the stock closed up yesterday on the news...I think there might be better ret...
