So, does anybody have any clue why the retailers are on fire here? Looks parabolic or blow off or rhino-horn like from here. Consumer credit has been trending down on a Y/Y rate of change basis since 2000 - last month it grew 3.3%... and that was after some "redefining" of the data series numbers. The old number was about 2.1%.
