WHY YOU SHOULD SHORT THE RETAILERS

<> 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...

I don't know how anyone can look at luxury retailers or any retailer for that matter and conclude that it is a buy. With the credit markets seized up I doubt TIF will have a very prosperous holiday season. I am recommending selling all retail stocks. As the markets head south, there will be no place for any of the securities in this class to go but down. Being up against good comps is just one factor that will weight down the sector. I suspect the weakness seen in the financial sector will begin to drag these guys down as well. Please don't get caught expecting any major rally. I am ...

Luxury Goods Purchases to wane into the holiday season

-3.49%

Simply put, consumers will be purchasing fewer luxury goods as we move into the holiday season. With the retraction of about 2 Trillion in available consumer credit, credit cards are shoring up their balance sheets and deleveraging. This will have a real impact on consumers as they may find they don't have enough credit this holiday season to maintain their normal purchasing 'power'.
