A very scary headline :

Retailers Face Worst Holiday in 30 Years

Tue Dec 24, 1:18 PM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Emily Kaiser

And the text:

-------------------------------------
In a weekly report on Tuesday, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishiand UBS Warburg forecast holiday sales in November and December would be up an anemic 1.5 percent over last year, the smallest gain since the banks began tracking weekly sales in 1970.
[snip]----------------------------------

How does a 1.5% increase become the "worst" anything ?????
