		<description><![CDATA[We retain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Bed Bath &#38; Beyond Inc. (BBBY), a leading operator of merchandise and home furnishing stores in the U.S. The company posted strong third-quarter earnings per share while raising its guidance for fiscal 2011. However, concerns regarding a sluggish recovery in the economy coupled with intense competition from specialty stores and mass merchandisers remain, threatening the company’s bottom-line. Bed Bath’s third-quarter earnings per share of 95 cents, which is the eleventh consecutive beat, handily surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 88 cents and was up 28% from the year-ago quarter. The improved results were attributable to strong sales and higher margins. The company&#8217;s lower payroll and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales led to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, eventually resulting ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 12/16/11 There will only be a handful of firms reporting next week as the third quarter reporting season is almost over. A total of just 34 firms are scheduled to report, including 13 of the S&#38;P 500. Most of the firms reporting have November fiscal period-ends, which means that they are reporting fourth quarter results. While few in number, some of the reports come from firms that are highly significant in that they will give clues to the overall direction of earnings in the fourth quarter. The firms reporting next week include: Bed Bath &#38; Beyond (BBBY), Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL), ConAgra (CAG), General Mills (GIS), Micron Technology (MU),  Nike (NKE) and Walgreens (WAG). There will, however, be plenty of economic data for the market to chew on. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our recommendation on Kirkland&#8217;s, Inc. (KIRK) to Underperform from Neutral following the company&#8217;s second-quarter 2011 results, which posted a loss of $0.02 per share compared with earnings of $0.16 in the prior-year period. Kirkland&#8217;s also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate earnings of $0.02 per share as cost of sales grew coupled with increased operating expenses. The company however anticipates total sales and margins to be sequentially higher but may be offset by the impact from higher expenses related to store openings. Consequently, Kirkland&#8217;s expects sales and earnings in third-quarter 2011 to be similar to those reported in second-quarter 2011. Moreover, we believe that the current business trends and the uncertain economic outlook in the U.S. will negatively impact the company&#8217;s future performance. Our six-month target price of ]]></description>

Moreover, the company has a Zacks #1 Rank, implying a short-term Strong Buy rating on the stock. Bed Bath &#38; Beyond is currently in the midst of a brisk store expansion program. The company is expecting to open a greater number of stores during fiscal year ending in February 2012. During fiscal year ended in February 2012, the company has opened 45 new stores, across all of its concepts. In addition, the company purchased its merchandise from approximately 5,500 suppliers, primarily from domestic sources and balances from overseas with the company&#8217;s largest supplier accounting for approximately 5%. This reduces the company&#8217;s dependence on a single supplier while increasing ]]></description>

Declining real estate value, reduced lending by banks, solvency concerns of major financial institutions, increase in unemployment levels and significant volatility in the global financial markets have negatively impacted the level of consumer spending for discretionary items.

The company&#8217;s susceptibility to the global economic downturn, coupled with stiff competition, severely undermines the company&#8217;s future growth prospects and profitability. The company expects comparable store sales to be flat or marginally negative for fiscal 2011. For the first quarter of 2011, the company expects sales to be in the range of $94 million to $96 million. Comparable same-store sales are expected to decline in the high single-digit range.

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rose to its highest mark but other major indices shed a few points. Ahead of the Christmas celebration, mixed economic data left the benchmarks to sway just modestly, and investors took a wait and watch attitude. Durable goods orders dropped below economist’ expectations primarily due to 53.1% dip in commercial airplane orders. However, new orders for nondefense capital goods (apart from aircraft) increased 2.6%, which reflects higher spending and thus an economic recovery of sorts. Claims for first time unemployment benefits also fell to and consumer spending modestly moved up by 0.4%. The DJIA rose 0.12% to close at 11,573.49. The S&#38;P 500 dropped 0.16% to close at 1,256.77. The Nasdaq Composite Index edged down 0.22% to 2,665.60. On the New York ]]></description>

Fortunately for the household, my input is neither required, nor requested. Undeterred by the recession, the missus has made Pottery Barn her second home.

It comes on the heel of reports that Americans actually cut back holiday spending this year. Bed Bath &#38; Beyond (Nasdaq: BBBY) reported lower sales as consumers clearly “did not have the time,” or the money. It joined a growing list of retailers who saw sales and income drop this Christmas. Retail outlets are having great difficulty maintaining their levels of profitability as consumers cut back &#8211; massive sales and promotions don’t seem to be doing the trick. And for investors looking to profit, the outlook doesn’t look good. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t companies with products that didn’t fly off the shelves. ]]></description>
