easy place for consumers to cut, especially given high gold/silver/platinum prices in recent years. High-end thinks they don't suffer in downturns, only subprime. Big mistake, they will cut back worse than subprimers before it's over.
In the 1920s, Morris (M.B.) and William Zale had a vision: to provide customers with quality merchandise at the lowest possible price. This vision became a reality when the first Zales Jewelers store opened in Wichita Falls, Texas, on March 29, 1924.
With a credit plan of "a penny down and a dollar a week," the Zale brothers launched a marketing strategy considered to be revolutionary at the time, and thus made jewelry and other merchandise affordable to the average working American. Fri

ZLC is not far from a 52-week high, who would have known we are in the midst of what some would call a recession & credit meltdown? Whitehall Jewelers, a competitor, has gone bankrupt and is liquidating its merchandise thru the holidays. This may put downward pressure on ZLC. Gold is off its $1000 high, but still expensive, another thing that may deter customers. ZLC trades at a lofty valuation and has a large short interest. The stock price seems to be propped up (similar to LAMR being propped up) considering the dim prospects and relative to competitors like aforementioned Whitehall ...

Juno is the Roman goddess of marriage and queen of the gods. Maybe that’s why June, which comes from the name Juno, is generally considered the most popular month of the year for getting married. Since June has just passed, maybe there are some wedding stocks worth looking at. By the way, did you see the article about the prospective bride who auctioned off the sponsorship of her wedding?

Yahoo Finance was a bit slow in reporting earnings dates last week so this might not be a comprehensive list. We are done with the bulk of mainstream American companies this earnings season, but this week will be dominated by Chinese fare (solar and gaming) along with dry bulk shipping. These are the names I’ll be watching to learn how the real economy (not government reported economy) is faring; especially the consumer this week with a slew of retail names.
