I am long TGT but will probably sell out. I have held for quite some time but have been concerned about the impact of Amazon. Many of the bricks and mortar type are taking it on the chin. They will need to find a catalyst to get folks into the store...... The sell off may have been somewhat over done but I have long term concerns. Macy's has turned into a real estate play and I keep thinking about Sears and K-mart..... Two words scare me: Amazon and Walmart

Oh I got an ear full from Ms. JimisJim about TGT... all the way to the airport where she caught a plane back to her hometown... thought I'd be enjoying a little bachelor time, but just a week after our 15 yr old dog died, and the iDaughter living up in Huntington Beach, it's too quiet here and I miss my dog more than ever. On a positive note, the iDaughter wants me to help her set up and begin funding an IRA and/or ROTH for her... yay! Apparently her friend and landlady (60 yr old gold record winner for mid-1970s Runaways hit, "I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are") has been bugging my daughter about it -- she had dropped out of HS in 1972 to be a rock star (and was, opening for Van Halen and Steppenwolfe for years) until she had her first of 3 kids... she got a GED and then a BA in Accounting and started her own tax accounting biz for bands/musicians and music industry people all up and down the west coast from San Diego to LA, SF, Portland and various areas in and around Seattle... she's trying to make a come back now that all of her kids are out of HS and in college (or graduated from college already)... she's enlisted my daughter as her bassist now, and tax accounting assistant and giving her a hard time about not having a retirement account already, something she insisted all of her kids start right after getting degrees (one's still in college)... I've been trying for 4 years to get my daughter going, but it took Roni to convince her and she'd like me to help her with investing... yay... Here's the iDaughter (on left) rockin with Roni Lee:

My GTC order on 100 shares missed by 3 cents yesterday. Even with only 200 shares, that was an expensive three cents. Poor excuse that I wasn't paying enough attention to realize earnings were last night. Guess I will put it back on the shelf (lol) for a quarter and see what happens.

TGT - I sold half of mine at 64.72 on Feb 9 and put the proceeds into VFC. Holding the other 1/2. It went from being about a 1/2 weight position to being a 1/3 weight position yesterday - kind of like magic :) It does have a 4% dividend now, but I am not interested in retailers until the shake out is over. VFC's lines get sold via all venues - brick and mortar, on-line, etc, and have an excellent dividend growth record. I am more comfortable now.
