How funny. Everyone was saying that Black Friday had the highest sales in history and now this author is saying otherwise. I guess we just need to wait and see what the rest of the season sales are. I know Monday will probably be a huge day for on-line retailers. I guess you can find the opposite said about everything.

Maybe it is. But for my business, on-line sales peak on 12/12, which also happens to be the biggest shipping day of the year. The sales curve is rounded on both ends.

"Cyber Monday" simply represents a slight uptick from the previous Monday, while Christmas purchases have been building up for at least a month.

I’m not sure that’s the case. At first, it was reported that Walmart had a record number of SHOPPERS. That somehow then got reported as record SALES.

From my limited observations, the Christmas shopping seems less than a year ago, possibly only because it’s started earlier than usual.

It has been reported that people are running up more Obama card... er, credit card... debt so far this season.

Walmart said it had the highest sales in its history. The other retailers have not published their results as yet.

Walmart wanted the union protestors to know they had zero effect on their sales.

Number of sales was up, dollars brought in was down.
