    ICSC Retail Store Sales: -5.4% W/W, vs. +1.2% last week. It's the largest weekly decline in data going back to 1989. +2.8% Y/Y, vs. +5.3% last week. Warm weather, and its negative effect on seasonal goods, is apparently behind the fall; weak consumer sentiment isn't mentioned.

    "weak consumer sentiment isn't mentioned" -WTF kind of economic reporting is this? Are we back to blaming weather, earthquakes, Europe, and tidal waves if there is some bad economic news?

    "Chain-store sales came crashing back in the January 7 week according to ICSC-Goldman's same-store sales tally which plunged 5.4 percent for the largest weekly decline in data going back to 1989."

    That's quite the open phrase.
