This is just like a dejavu all over again. I swear to you, on a stack of YHOO dollars, that the same type of post was made last christmas. Stating that brick and mortar sales are not going as well as expected means nothing. It could be read that sales are down and the net etailers are going to be down also. It could be asked where did those sales go, the net maybe? I don't know and it doesn't matter. I bet the bears that replace you (anyone remember candlestick?) will cite the same argument in the year 2003. Good luck, jb

SI, You might read more carefully.... The article does not have anything to do with etailing. It talks about fall in retail sales from outlets. What does that mean for etailing business ?? Read especially this bit, and people don't buy computers to learn typing anymore ! <<< A couple of silver linings: computer and electronics sales are showing strong gains and the incredibly warm weather much of the country had in early December may have encouraged shoppers to put off their spending. Bucking the trend today, as it has all year, the Gap (GPS) was up 2.3% to 52 5/16>>
