People who do have money, as of this week, are no longer buying Christmas gifts. They’re buying guns and accessories.
‘meh’
I had to look that word up on wikipedia although some FReepers use it and I had pretty much inferred what it meant.
Have never heard anyone audibly pronounce it, though. Possibly because I don’t watch tv?
Howard. Awesome.
As a stock market fan, Howard is for me like an imaginary uncle who would take you to his favorite deli in New York on Sundays and buy you a pastrami sandwich and talk to you about the stock market. A few of those sandwich outings and you’d have a better economics education than you’d get at Wheaton.
Howard Davidowitz is known as a Christmas grinch but he is probably right.
Lots of people at the local Wal*Mart yesterday.
Here in NC, stores were empty up until this week. Business just picked up, Target, Kmart, and WallyWorld are all mobbed.
It won’t be a great Christmas for retailers but it won’t be the end of then world, either.
Howard Howard Davidowitz? I guess his parents really liked the name Howard.
The mall here seemed packed over the weekend, don’t know where they were actually shopping. Gay C. Penney was pretty empty of customers; moderate crowds at Dillard’s and Macy’s; Sears seemed crowded. Wal-Mart looked like a normal Saturday crowd on Friday. Over at Tar-gay on Monday, looked like a normal turnout. Had to park about 8 cars from the door, had to wait for another customer to check out. No lines at the checkout at Tuesday Morning or SteinMart.
