Circuit City: Closing Time

Don't forget all...

Hammer is starting to drop on commercial real estate...

Get ready for more mult-$trillion dollar losses.

Circuit City: Closing Time

You'll find work. Don't give up. You seem to have a level head and positive attitude -- you are bigger than CC!

Too bad you didn't nail them under the ADA... WHile they still had something you could get your hands on that is. I think it's illegal to do that... I'm not a lawyer, but I think the ADA doesn't allow employers to do things like that if it's related to your handicap.

Wow! What jerks!

Ya! Just wait until it's Target or WalMart...

WalMart employs over 2 million... Do I hear too big to fail from the Arkansas Clintons?

Circuit City: Closing Time

We call Best Buy the Flat Screen TV store. They've cut all of the DVD's. CD's. computers, cameras, etc. since everything is much cheaper online and now the store is almost wall to wall flat screen TV's.

When you walk into Best Buy it is something like Orwell would write about. Gives me the creeps, but I haven't been to a Best Buy in a couple of months, even the flat screens are a better buy (should I say best buy) via online with free shipping.

Having digital TV bomb-out bust have been a real hit as I think they were one of the FCC's so-called partners in this program (really means pumping the special interest dollars to Congress).

But really, the Circut City/Best Buy model is dead meat.

'Great' Companies That Are, Literally, Good to Go

Did ANY OF THEM get some of the $2 TRILLION from the Fed? They are not telling who is getting this money so how can you trust ANY company or investment?

It's really pathetic!

Then we have the businesses that we know about who are lining up to live off the American taxpayer.

I think I'm gonna be sick!

Circuit City Doesn't Have Enough Cash to Declare Bankruptcy

Next up... Best Buy...

Last time I was in a Best Buy store their DVD's and CD's were depleted.. (lost market to online retailers), nobody was buying computers or peripherals... In fact, the local Best Buy has turned into the large screen TV store. Large screen TV's and dozens of salespeople hanging around the TV's asking if you need help.

Best Buy should change their name to Large Screen TV Mart. Actually, it's sorta scary to visit their stores... Reminds of something from an Orwell book... Walls lined with screens...

To see where this will all end up, look at the markets in Japan and the manufactures of LCD's -- not too good.

Me... I figure when our country goes digital, nobody will have enough money to buy a converter, even with the FCC coupons. I'll just pull out the old 1930's tube radio and fire it up as a reminder of the good old days -- Great Depression I.
