    How Did Major Retailers Do in August? [view article]
    Your work is instructive. Several articles about collective debt level have me very concerned:

    1) From Seeking Alpha
    The Great Consumer Crash of 2009
    by: James Quinn posted on: August 14, 2008

    2) From Dr. Marc Faber Market Comment: October 9, 2005

    (Note here that the ONLY time in history when our debt level even approached today is just before the Great Depression. Not a prediction, just an editorial note. But today our debt level is worse. )

    3) from Barrons Feb 11, 2008
    "This Credit Crisis Has a Long Way to Run"
    Interview with Jeremy Grantham, Chief Investment Strategist, GMO
    Barron’s By SANDRA WARD

    The above is a lot of data to take in. The picture, due to grossly excessive credit expansion, is bleak.

    I disagree with your suggestion that consumers will wise up. Some will for sure. But most won't until they are forced. And they will be due to credit restrictions now becoming much tougher. The banks will cut them off.

    It seems that Citigroup plays dirty ever since Japan kicked them out for doing business there, and now they are after Wall Street brokers. Reply

    Hi Lee99. According to Bloomberg it was a miss:

    Shares are down 4%, so FWIW it seems that's how the market is taking it too.

    Excellent coverage as usual. Suggest that you alphabetize earnings report (after close and before open as 2 groups, as now) to facilitate reading. Reply

    Retailers' Online Strategy a More Important Rating Factor - Moody's [view article]
    The problem with online clothing sales is that clothing is one of those things that people like to touch and feel (and try on) before they buy it. I would also worry about the costs associated with returns on online sales. It's difficult to get the size/color/suitability right when buying online. Also, Gap shopping is very much a visit-the-mall experience that cannot be duplicated online. Reply

    Oil Takes a Breather - Fast Money Recap (5/22/08) [view article]
    I agree.I have a couple of Mercedes, and rented a Ford Fusion "SEL" this weekend. I was impressed with the style, fit,finish and driveability.The Edge also looks unique and quality.

    I think flex fuel/hybrids would be a great idea for Ford.Japanese cars are reliable, but Ford has an "edge" (pun intended) now in styling and getting closer in quality finish to the Japanese competition.

    Oil Takes a Breather - Fast Money Recap (5/22/08) [view article]
    Ford... Ford.... Ford.... They are so out of touch with the consumer it blows my mind. Finally in 07-08 they are now making cars that at least are not an embarrassment to drive. The cars look quite nice. However, they need to be on the same bang wagon as GM with making everything Flexfuel. Its only an additional $1100 and could save a family $2000/yr in fuel. If they want to sell some cars one good marketing idea would be to offer free flex fuel conversions (its mostly labor). Sales would sky-rocket... and I would purchase that Ford Edge and drop my long-term affair with Honda/Acura. Reply

    Oil price is going up that scares the consumers but not the government. In fact timely government inventory drop serves as catalyst to price increase. There is no cry from the goverment to control or to do some thing. After reading David Baldacci's and Clive Cussler's fiction stories on government, my question is "is there any connection."? Our scientist and researchers those who put man on the moon are capable producing quick results considering hydrogen and bio fuels. In fact pwerful hydrogen technology was develpoed by private investor in late seventies and is readily available. Only we need money and interest of our goverment. Is oil lobbyist over powering consumers cry? Reply
