How about the reason for lower sales being that we are buying items from the internet. Its cheaper, no sales taxes, you don’t have to fight the crowds and its delivered right to your front door?

Thats what I’m doing this Christmas.

Or ... blame it on Bush! /s

J. C. Penney Company, Inc (JCP)

Scratching head: Hmm, JCP should have figured out the drop in retail sles 9 months ago,

just by looking at their own earnings and stock price.

When gasoline prices go up 50% or more many in the middle class slow down retail discretionary

spending so they can continue to use their vehicles and heat theri homes.
