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

"We are reiterating our Under Perform rating on American Eagle as we think AEO faces headwinds in 2008 due to increased competition, difficult SSS (same-store sales) and peak margin comparisons in a challenging macro environment. Though at ~10.4x our FY08 reduced EPS estimate of $1.73, AEO is trading at a discount to the sector average of ~15x, AEO is trading above its long term organic growth rate of 8% to 10%, given limited square footage growth opportunities and what we think could be a difficult 2008 with negative SSS and earnings growth.

All of this adds up to a vulnerable position when it comes t...
