Get ready for more of this. I sell software to the retail industry, they are getting killed this year. Expect to see many store closings, mall closings, etc. Consumers are going to be very surprised when their neighborhood retail stores start going under.

The hottest business in towns across America is the one selling the plywood to cover the windows.

Ours already have. It started here with a brand spankin’ new, replacement Circuit City going belly up within a month of O’s swearing in...

You are correct. We have not seen anything yet. Not only will there be fewer and fewer retail outlets. The ones that remain open will have fewer and fewer goods to sell.

No doubt about it.

Not to threadjack but have any of the retailers admitted complicity in their demise by stocking the identical cheap tat available at the next store, i.e., abandoning their identity?

Agreed, small retailers that can make to Christmas will be very disappointed in the holiday sales this year and next.

Could you expand more? I’m always interested in learning first-hand business intelligence and data...

thanks
