OT: "Black Friday Online Sales Jump 22% as Jobs Spur Shopping"

Even downward slopes have a few peaks. I think stevie has done enough prognosis that the prophecy of impending DOOM is at least 50/50

Lots of garage sales around these here parts. We call that Brown Saturday in Califas.

50/50? Shit! A month and a half ago Stevie-girl and his mindless circle-jerkers here like zippy would have said it was 99.88% certain. How far we've come so fast!

51/50?

Us Brits have a lot to thank America for, Black Friday is not one of them.

Black Friday sounds like a horror movie. Or a death metal band.

Lol! History is proving me right and that faggot Stevie-girl wrong. And we are just getting started...

@ Londonguy: Sorry 'bout that.

@Dougsta...I am injured. That you would think if in Steve's camp after all this time as your bud. What's up with that? Everything I post is dead serious. I know we're on a path toward an economic golden age. But I also think 19-year old girls are so slutty that they'll work at Qdoba just so they can give old perverts free blowjobs while said perverts eat Qdoba burritos.

The new fashion statement for 18- to 20-year olds is burrito meat, beans, guac, and queso in the hair. The more of it the more burrito-eatin' perverts you blew that day. The more perverts you blew the cooler you are!

Ok, 22% is pretty big YoY increase especially, and it says it was due to an improving job's market, but Stevie-girl and The Economist insist the economy and jobs market are weak so that must mean... Ah, better stop thinking about and go with "because stevie-girl said so!"

From another article tonight it looks like amazon got hit particularly hard:

"Sales at Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, jumped 46 percent yesterday and 24 percent on Black Friday, "

Absolutely DOOMED!

Yes, definitely at the expense of B&M. The times they at a changing! Haven't been in a mall myself since August, but bought plenty of stuff on Amazon.

BBY will be interesting ticker to watch. They have down a good job of integrating their online and B&M operations. AMZN and their predatory pricing is always a threat though.

See how KORS does today. I bought 300 back at $72.35.

Advanced retail beat expectations yesterday and consumer sentiment blew out expectations today. Looking good!

Sorry skeptics!
