This cost cutting will improve Macy's bottom line. That's how the stock market seems to see it, anyway.
Yes - it is back to school and tax free weekend was last weekend in Texas. Savings is around 8 percent when you don’t have to pay tax. In past years we have seen prices go up about 10 percent during this weekend and then back down when it is over. Plus it has turned out to be worse than Black Friday as far as crowds go.
Price of kids clothes is ridiculously high and quality is poor. Am wondering how much of the increase was due to increase in costs instead of increase in quantity.
Pure evil, pure insanity, pure greed...call it what you will...
Bottom-line....prepare, because it's all a scam.
Those that perpetrated the scam will be long gone(after enjoying the many fruits of their larceny), they simply don't give a sh t about the consequences for others...they got theirs.
Japan’s national debt is $10.5 trillion US dollars. That’s for an economy 1/4 the size of ours.
Their debt-to-GDP is over 200%, double ours.
They are in a very, very bad way right now and the size of the debt is massive - I think it’s second only to the US.
My customer base is gone.”
So sorry about your business problems. All our clients are doctors. Calls from new patients wanting to schedule an appointment are WAY WAY down, credit card rejects just for co-pays are WAY up.
Several current patients have called about changing insurance because premiums were just too high and they had to move to HMO plans which no doc accepts.
Nobody I know has any extra money!
Office Depot is closing 300 stores... some real estate and retail rally?
A lot more shopping being done online.
Indeed. Not sure why the stocks rally when Japan index lost 3.5% in 12 hours
They think it means consumption up when oil goes up, but it could be an entirely different reason
we’ll all be on food stamps at that point.
On To a Dow Jones 25,000!!!!
All that is true. Japan is also a basket case. What Japan doesn’t have is an open border, an out of control welfare state, $200+trillion unfunded liabilities, and a monopolistic banking system running on credit default swaps that are exponentially greater than the entire global GDP.
I hope you can wipe your butt with your EBT card because that’s all it will be worth.
Perhaps not.
Professional investors pay little or no regard to Politics and daily fluctuations mean little to them, they are just gambling with other peoples money. I wouldn't put a dime into today's market..
See, the Economy is doing so well...../sarc.
yes it may possibly do so
but it can’t be construed as a ‘retailing boom’
that’s for sure!
TRUMP! They smell blood in the water and are predicting a win for TRUMP!
I don't see how anything could be up when the GNP hasn't grown more than 3% in close to a decade...
The skin on that balloon sure is getting thin the bigger it gets.
Ebay seems to be dead for me as well. Generally I can flip some of my spare parts, military surplus items, and the like for decent money.
The past few months have been essentially flat.
