my point was that this economy is and has been nothing but a big shell game by the banking cartels and a ponzi scheme by our government who is controlled by the banking cartels.
Regardless of their pricing structure, US corporations have been forced economically to turn to China for goods and JCP is just another of thier victims.

Dump current management, get rid of the home decor section and replace it with guns/ammo/hunting and fishing.

Get rid of the ghetto and fag fashions and replace with Carharts and outdoor wear.

Hire Ted Nugent to be the spokesperson.

Stock would soar!

Ron Johnson, chief executive officer of jcpenney said, "Sales and customer traffic were below our expectations in 2012, but as we execute our ambitious transformation plan ..."
Transformation to what? You're a feckin' clothes retailer.
The only thing you're transforming to is the Titanic.

This 6/12 article from Yahoo tickled my funny bone:

J.C. Penney: Does Going Gay Make It a Buy?

Betcha can guess their answer to the question. I hope they invested.

Johnson isn’t even a clothes trader. What did he sell when he was at Apple?

3 types of iphones
3 types of ipads
3 types of ipods
3 types of ilaptops
3 types of idesktops

Thats it. And he didn’t even have to really sell, either. The Apple cult just buy whatever is thrown at them.

Titantic is right.

People, this has nothing to do with Ellen. Most people like Ellen, or at least are not offended. At least enough to not cause a 32% drop in sales.

The problem is that people are BROKE. Cannot afford JC Penney old lady clothes. Face it, it’s not about gay Ellen, it’s about outdated clothes that are overpriced.

Surely you jest?

I just bought several items this weekend. I haven’t been there in years.
They have changed most of their suppliers. They have thinned out the merchandise on the sales floor so it is not so cluttered. These actions have alienated most of their regular customers. The new customers they are aiming for have not yet figured out they are different. So, sales are down.

If they are able to last long enough to weather the change over, I think they will be better in the end.

I think a lot of could have looked past that one. It was the catalogues promoting homosexual couples raising children that did it for me.

This was intentionally done by their leader.

Hmmm...Perhaps it could be instructive to follow this guy’s next career move. Maybe he intentionally tanked JCP and will be moving on to a competitor’s business....

Maybe most people who watch her show like Ellen.

Most everybody else, who's being honest, the type of people whose opinions never get polled, people like me...hell no.

And it's beyond liking Ellen, the person or comedian, it's what she represents.

People are choosing up sides, at least people I know.

Exactly. Most "U.S." Corporations have been absorbed by the Banking Cartel and act as false fronts. They aren't money making operations, they can just print all the money they want. They use the corporations like the East India Company to control sectors of the economy and also used in social engineering.

The Banking Cartel has move most of the wealth creation in this country to Red China. (Wealth can only be created only by taking stuff out of the ground and making things that people need everyday) This was not done to benefit the Chinese people but to deny that wealth to the American people, to sap our strength and the ability to remain independent. They want to take the USA down and rule over us like God-Kings.

We aren't going to survive as a nation unless the public wakes up to this.

Don’t mean to be nosy, but why would your wife not care about the most militantly leftist, oppressive movement in American history?

Don't worry, that comment wasn't nosy. It was just rude and offensive. My wife is not "permanently asleep" as you suggest. If we ruled out every retail store that kissed gay asses we'd have to rule out Apple, Disney (including ABC and a wide variety of publications and entertainment affiliates they own), Target, JC Penny, etc. Perhaps you are so pure as to make your own clothes and grow all your own food but most of us have to buy stuff and so we have to deal with what is. If JC Penny wants to run stupid ads, so be it. If they change their strategy to basically tell all their customers "we don't want you anymore, we want the DINKs, especially gay DINKs" then they are off our list. If you think I'm not down with your cause, I can live with that.

I agree. It has everything to do with their merchandise and how they're selling it. Two weeks before Christmas we tried to buy dressy sweaters there for two boys ages 5 and 7. The saleslady looked stricken and said they hadn't gotten any in. What exactly are they selling if they're not selling dressy sweaters before Christmas? We ended up getting them at Target. That was probably the only time we've been in a Penneys in the last 5 years. I doubt we'll be there in the next 5.

2/3 of everything I saw was already on clearance.

She might want to have a look-see pretty soon.
