We should go after others who support sodomy like the NBA and other businesses who want to move elsewhere. We can never compromise the security of our innocent children and American families.

Wow, it was 1.5 billion just a couple of days ago, now it is up to 2.5B.

Those suits probably will take some notice.///

Target’s board members usually have oodles of stock.
Hope they ALL have lost big on their poor decisions.

There will be a million transvestites who buy up the stocks and bring it back to WAY over the top. Bruce Jenner for sure will be buying these stocks at a low price, to help sell his wigs.

the company did not lose the money, the stockholders took the loss (if they panic and sell)

Even if Target do an about face, the ‘family friendly’ image of its brand has been damaged.

The goodwill of its customers SHOULD (not WILL) be hard to earn back.

Yes, I know, but the suits still would take notice (the ceo of the company I worked for was sensitive of the stock price ups-and-downs).

It will affect their bottom lines and operating cost.

We now are learning! Like the small minority dreks of society that threaten corporations with ethnic racism and extortion. The silent majority will yield the most benefit by shear numbers and force these corporations to pay attention to values and morals of an America under attack or suffer the consequesnces.

Until you see a reduction in revenue in their next earnings report compared to the rest of the industry I wouldn’t hold my breath on Target changing direction on anything.

And what did the market do for Targets competitors???

People who post this crap show their ignorance of the stock market.

So stock prices went down a little bit.

Target SOLD their stock during the IPO. It's mainly the stock holders who have watched a dip in VALUE not actual money.

The only real way for Target to see losses THIS EARLY in the boycott is at POS.

Current stock prices don't show s#!t.

Ripe for a shareholder class action law suit.

“There will be a million transvestites who buy up the stocks and bring it back to WAY over the top”

Why are they waiting? Maybe your transvestites (what really is that anyway?) aren’t so many or so rich or so caring...

5 days ago Walmart was at $68.49 today it's at $66.88

A 2.96% drop in 5 days

5 days ago Target stock was $82.15 today it's 79.53

A 2.23% drop in 5 days

If this boycott keeps up...It'll put Walmart out of business before Target /sarcasm>

Stupid people

Want to hit them harder, review your 401k and remove any mutual funds that contain them.

Would they spend the money for unisex bathrooms? And if they did, wouldn’t these be a lasting “monument” to this insanity? I don’t care about the stock price or Target. It is much simpler and less mentally taxing for me. I just don’t go there anymore. I signed the petition, but had already decided not to shop there again. JC Penny misses me too, I’m sure. Didn’t need to sign a petition...just using common sense.
