WHY YOU SHOULD SHORT THE RETAILERS Graphic_rating_sell SIG

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.

Signet owns Kay Jeweler and Jared Galleria of Jewelry. This is an ADR of a firm based in the UK. 75% of sales are from the US. This retailer may have even more problems than Tiffany's and other jewelers in a protracted, rough economy for a few reasons: 1. Lower-end customer more at risk for unemployment, less discretional income, and significantly impacted by decreasing wealth effect with home price decreases, shutoff HELOC's, etc. 2. Jared appears to have an expensive lease structure for retail locations, judging only from a few extremely prominent market locations I have seen...
