    When Energy Goes Lower - Fast Money Recap (9/10/08) [view article]
    As for Lehman Bros. one can see how the Federal Government is so slow in acting. They seem to love crisis. They should march in immediately and put it in receivership. Do the financial work and disolve the company.
    That would be good management of the economy and would show that the government is on top of things.
    This will not happen because they need as much time as possible to work out a plan to save the investors. Or better know as socialism for capitalist.

    Wal-Mart: The Best Play in This Market [view article]
    Great summary! Wal-Mart is ahead of the curve regarding preparing for and dealing with recession. They dance with the one who brought them to the dance. They work to serve the low to middle income customer. The number of low to middle income customers, or those who perceive themselves as such, have increased in the last couple of years. Therefore, the customer base they have designed their business around is growing. Reply

    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.

    $6M Suit: Target, Amazon Must Make Web More Accessible to Blind [view article]
    Let's be honest here. For those who are not blind or deaf, having such disabilities is very socially challenging, at best, and can have very serious consequences if people do not take such matters into account. Imagine dispensing medication to a person who is blind. This is a real world problem with real world consequences which has actually already been solved. Such solutions for a website are even easier (speaking as a web developer myself) and easily should have been a high priority on ANYBODY'S website design list. My personal website is accessible, and there shouldn't be any website out there designed for public viewing which isn't.

    Jala, deaf people CAN enjoy radio, especially talk radio and news reports, which is the whole point of having transcripts available. They can even enjoy music, though in a very different way from the rest of us.

    Honestly, Target, with it's community focus efforts, really should have known better. Somebody at Target really dropped the ball by approving the Amazon website without due consideration. Somebody, and I don't know who, really screwed up, and at the very least, should lose their own job over it. Target has better things to do with its money than lose lawsuits over stupid easily preventable mistakes. As both a shareholder and a person who cares deeply about disability issues, I would expect better from Target.

    Great resource David!
    It's great to see that dividends are cushioning the losses for investors this year. To everyone else who believes that this is a short term phenomenon, please check this link out:

    $6M Suit: Target, Amazon Must Make Web More Accessible to Blind [view article]
    I think the National Federation for the Deaf (I'm sure there is one) should sue all radio stations to make sure a method is provided for deaf people to enjoy the radio, too. Oh, let's sue the Apple because deaf people can't use Ipods.

    Ahhh, another fine example of the absurd litigation that only occurs in this country. I suppose the NFB's next target will be the state BMVs failure to print driver manuals in braille. Reply

    Does Target have a meaningful international presence?

    None on the store front. Some international operations related to product sourcing.

    I always get a kick in the pants from people who say that index XYZ performed BETTER than the market, when in reality, they just lost LESS! Reply
