Tito, IMO, I do not thing the retailers will have a bang up Christmas. Having worked at WMT in a management capacity the good markup % items are the textile, electronic, jewelry and toys. Notice that Sears # are down along with the electronic and semi sector. Along with the above statistics the Retailers at Christmas are up against the Big Numbers of the previous Christmas. With Sears comsumer debt as reflect by cnbc at a high they are fearful of a slow down of buying or person bankruptcy. And look at us we buy more stock--maybe we can purchase stock and make it as a gift to our kids. Think they would be happy? :)

Just my two cents.
