		<description><![CDATA[Does the start of holiday sales suggest a break from the phase when US consumers were reeling under a series of macro-economic shocks? For now, the initial data released by National Retail Federation suggests that Santa has a bagful of gifts for the majority of retailers this holiday season. Early reports hinted that the retailers have won over prolonged macro-economic uncertainty. Shoppers shrugged off their economic woes to mark record holiday weekend sales of $52.4 billion. Supporting the view, data released by the Conference Board reveals that Consumer Confidence Index increased to 56.0 in November from 40.9 in October (its highest level since July, when the index reached 59.2). Further, data from the Commerce Department noted consumer spending to have recorded its fastest growth in third quarter 2011. The quarter ]]></description>

Does this indicate that the retail party has just begun? Early hours store openings, huge discounts, promotional activities and free shipping on online purchases were enough to lure customers on Black Friday that turned out to be a bonanza for both brick-and-mortar as well as e-commerce retailers. The data released by Swampscott, Massachusetts-based Retail Metrics, reveals that comparable-store sales of over 20 companies rose 3.2% beating the expectation of 3.1%. The data provider further added that 57% of retailers outpaced while 33% missed their expectations. Yes, there were retailers that stuck to old traditions and were not bold to think out of the box. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember the fictional immigrant Balki from the TV show &#8220;Perfect Strangers&#8221;? He seemed to speak a universal truth when he said, “Am I in debt? I&#8217;m a true American.” Well, not anymore. After being battered by the latest recession, Americans are gradually learning to live without debt, priming protection over growth. According to a report released by the New York Federal Reserve, U.S. consumers continued to free themselves of debt in the third quarter, showing a 0.6% sequential decline. The decline was primarily led by reduced mortgage balances. Consumer debt increased substantially during 2002–2008. In 2007, consumer debt had swollen to about 135% of disposable income. Since then, the level has been seeing a steady decline. It is a common perception that living without debt is just impossible, as our ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Thanksgiving drawing to a close and Black Friday shopping gathering steam, this is clearly a retail weekend. Brick-and-mortar outlets, such as Target Corp (TGT), BestBuy Inc (BBY), Macy’s Inc. (M) and Kohl’s Corp (KSS) opened their stores at midnight yesterday, vying with each other to catch the first shoppers. Shoppers, too, have been lining up to bust the doors for the best of the selection and deals. While consumer dollars will no doubt pour in, this year is different from others. Mainly because a number of traditional retailers, such as Gap Inc. (GPS) and J.C. Penney Company (JCP) have not been doing so well and may not have promo offers available for long. Consumers on their part are also more cautious and have started comparing the offline shopping experience ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Total Retail Sales rose 0.5% in October on top of a 1.1% rise in September. Relative to a year ago they are up 7.2%. While the number is not adjusted for inflation (it is, but only for seasonality and holidays) it is still a strong showing. It was also better than the expected rise of 0.4% for the month. Retail sales is a very broad measure of consumer spending, not just what is going on at the shopping malls. What happens on the car lots can make a big difference. That said, excluding autos sales, they were up 0.6% for the month after rising 0.5% in September (revised down from up 0.6%) and are up 7.3% year over year.

		<description><![CDATA[A late rally saw markets recoup the day’s losses to finally finish in the green on Monday, after news of China stepping in to buy Italian bonds helped soothe the nerves of jittery investors. Initially, markets had been trading in the negative zone as investors were bogged down by fears of a Greek debt-default. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained by 0.6% to close at 11,061.12. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.7% to settle at 1,162.27. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,495.09, posting a 1.1% gain. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) traded around 38.

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our long-term Neutral recommendation on Best Buy Company Inc. (BBY), one of the leading specialty retailers of consumer electronic products, home office products, entertainment software, appliances and related services, with a price target of $32.00. Best Buy’s customer-centric operating model remains the driving factor behind its growth. The company tailors its store merchandising, staffing, marketing and presentation to meet the distinct needs of targeted customers. The company’s wide array of assortments, store formats and brand marketing strategies provides an edge over competitors. Best Buy recently posted better-than-expected first-quarter 2012 results. The quarterly earnings of 35 cents a share, topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents, but fell 2.8% from 36 cents earned in the prior-year quarter. Management reiterated its fiscal 2012 adjusted earnings guidance range of $3.30 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most developing sectors of the economy. The industry is evolving very rapidly, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (42% of their total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (23.4% of their total sales). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. Retailers and service providers generated just 4.0% and 2.3%, respectively of their revenues online, a slightly higher percentage than they were in the prior year. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. The business-to-business category makes up 91% of total e-commerce sales, with the balance coming from ]]></description>

Anyone who was around during the early days of the automobile had to realize the freedom to move that it would bestow on people. People paying attention to the beginning of the internet had to know that it would change the way people communicate, conduct research and how congressmen get into trouble for lewd behavior. And today, a new technology is on the verge of breaking into the mainstream that will change the retail and restaurant industries forever… and bring happy returns to early investors… Near Field Communications Technology I’m talking ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our cautious stance on RadioShack Corp.(RSH) given the company’s moderate performance in the first quarter of 2011. RadioShack declared mixed financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Although earnings per share (EPS) were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, revenues fell slightly below the estimate. However, revenues increased 2.1% year over year mainly attributable to growth in mobility (mostly wireless) businesses (up 11%) but fell 22.3% sequentially, mainly due to lower demand for consumer electronic goods and the ongoing tussle with T-Mobile business. The company also reduced its EPS outlook for fiscal 2011. RadioShack is one of the most experienced and trusted consumer electronics specialty retailers in the U.S. RadioShack is well positioned on the back of its better locations and large footprint.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7% and finished at 12,170.56. The Dow recorded its biggest 6 day percentage gain since July 14, 2010 after gaining 4.8% in the last 6 trading days.

Analysts believe that Apple may have sold more than 500,000 iPad2s after retail outlets ran out of the tablet-style device since its arrival on March 11. iPad2 is available at more than 236 retail stores in the U.S. and also at thousands of AT&#38;T Inc. (T), Verizon Wireless (VZ), Best Buy (BBY), Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) and Target Corp. (TGT) stores. iPad2 was also available online at Apple’s website, expected to be delivered to customers in less than a weeks’ time.

Unfortunately for electronics retailer Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), consumers weren’t buying plasma screen TVs and video games. Result? In the company’s third quarter earnings release, it reported a 5% drop in domestic sales from a year earlier. Net revenue finished at $11.89 billion, down from $12.02 billion, which fell short of analysts’ projections for a rise to $12.45 billion.
