Vest Buy Cuts Outlook (...mixed bag?)
Dallas Bidniss Journal ^ | November 13, 2008 | Holly Dolezalek

Could be some great buys for Black Friday.....but then again, given the trend of gifting Gift Cards, I'd personally be leary of putting up some green on a Best Buy Card, given their pessimism...

Vest Buy still has a better outlook than SuspenderCity. ;)

the Richfield, Minn.-based electronics retailer to cut its fiscal 2009 earnings projections to $2.30 to $2.90 per diluted share....Best Buy is now projecting $43.7 to $45.5 billion in revenue for fiscal 2009, down from earlier projections of $47 billion.

Aw too bad - they're still going to rake in over forty billion dollars in revenue! Unlike their competition, they're still projecting a positive revenue-per-share. Good thing they're not selling coffee: Starbucks 4Q profit drops 97 pct on closure costs.

Gift cards are turning into a ripoff with the conditions, fees, and expiration dates on them. The other poster was right—if you don’t give an actual gift, give cash.

I've had B/Vest Buy gift card sitting next to my home PC since April, waiting for a bargain. Maybe I ought to get on that thing.
