***SMILE*** Would it be fair to say you're a bit of a "shop-a-holic" ??!! But maybe that's only when it comes to groceries and foodstuffs !
Funny you should mention Winn Dixie stores, and its bankruptcy status. I've had a long, protracted discussion with someone on another site's Message Board. He's a Technical Analyst making most of his decisions on charts. He was convinced the stock was a good buy. I tried to convince him otherwise.
As you say, the retail store's business is "real competitive", which is why their Operating Margins, as a percentage of their Turnovers, are so small. Wal-Mart sits at just over 6%.
It's for this reason that I prefer not to invest in these stocks.
I hope you continue to find bargains, both in the stores and on the stock market !
