		<description><![CDATA[Last week (8/29), there were 570,000 initial claims for unemployment insurance &#8212; down from 574,000 the week before, but that 574,000 was revised up from 570,000, so it really is about flat with last week. The four-week moving average ticked up again, for the third week in a row now, but remains well below the peak set in mid-April. The current four-week average of 571,250 is 4000 above last week. The Chart below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) puts the recent uptick in perspective. You have to look very closely to see it. I remain convinced we have seen the highs for the cycle, but we are probably in for a long period of jagged sideways movement. That was the pattern in the last two recessions, where initial claims stayed elevated for about two years after ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aeropostale Inc.’s (ARO) fiscal second-quarter net income surged 83.3% year over year to $38.6 million. Earnings per share came in at 57 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. The performance was also higher than the company’s upgraded guidance of 54 cents to 55 cents per share announced earlier this month. The specialty retailer for teenagers recorded a robust 20.1% year-over-year growth in sales to $453 million driven by a 12% expansion in same-store sales. The result was also helped by an 8% growth in weighted square footage as the company added 48 stores across the U.S., Canada and Dubai, compared to the year-ago quarter. Low-priced teen retailers such as Aeropostale and Buckle Inc. (BKE) have been able to negotiate recessionary headwinds successfully by offering value to price ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abercrombie &#38; Fitch Co. (ANF), a leading international specialty retailer, reported disappointing second quarter results with a net loss of $26.7 million or -30 cents per share compared to a net income of $77.8 million or 87 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. The year-over-year decline in results was primarily due to the continued economic downturn plaguing the industry that has resulted in reduced consumer discretionary income and a cut in non-essential spending. Overall net sales of the company during the quarter decreased 23% to $648.5 million from $845.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Total company direct-to-consumer net sales decreased 13% year-over-year to $48.7 million, while overall comparable store sales decreased 30%. Gross profit rate during the quarter decreased 360 basis points year-over-year due to a higher markdown rate. ]]></description>
