Last night I heard it mentioned on CNBC that the bestselling items were.... and then there was the obligatory commercial break.

I expected to hear specific items after the advertisements, things like 'iPad' or 'Nook' or 'Google TV.'

You know.... bestselling items, right?

But when the segment recommenced, the best selling items were clothing and jewelry.

I think we understand the former, but I am really curious about the jewelry --- whether it represents very high end pieces laden with jewels and precious metals, or whether it represents less elaborate items, but still PURE gold or PURE silver -- inotherwords, a personal investment that one wears around the neck.

Did the jewelry part of the equation for great retail sails represent fine diamonds or 'fine' costume jewelry???

I hope we have a breakdown on this later in the year, and with that clothing, I'd love to know how great a percentage was winter coats, caps, mittens and underwear & socks.

LOL!

Any of you happen to know if some time this year they will ever break down the actual numbers behind the retail sales this holiday season?

IF so, when would this be expected?

Last night they said that the best sellers were clothing and jewelry .... that together, jewelry and clothing represent MOST of the retail sales over the holidays.

I doubt you'll agree, but I'd like to know how many winter caps, hats, scarves and mittens, along with underwear & socks, and maybe coats & jackets constituted those "tremendous" retail sales.

Thank you.
