J.C. Penney Plunge Marks Greatest Single-Day Loss In 40 Years
Forbes ^ | May 16, 2012

Posted on 05/16/2012 1:53:19 PM PDT by Bill Buckner

Call it J.C Penney’s private flash crash.

The stock today plunged 19.7% to close at $26.57. That’s even worse than Black Monday 1987. On that day, the stock lost a hair less, 19.2%.

It’s unclear if this is the stock’s worst day ever. (Perhaps it suffered an even worse day during the 1930s.) However, it is clear that this is the worst single-day performance in the past 40 years. That’s as far back as our FactSet data goes.*

“...doesn’t mean that the public has to like it. “

Or give our money to those companies that do push it.

Seriously, I had a fun time in the Seventies, but there were three things that sucked immaculate about the Seventies:

1. The Clothes

2. The Hair

3. The Cars.

Other than those things, it was fun!

Now that is interesting, I thought the couple on the R were grandmother mother and daughter and other granddaughter and daughter. Does it actually say that they are lesbians?

My thoughts are the same as yours.

Here is the script:

You’ll often find Wendi, her partner Maggie, and their daughters elbow deep in clay, paint, and mosaics. “Even as babies, the girls toddled around in diapers, covered in paint,” said Wendi. They come from a long line of artists, which includes Grandma Carolyn. Visiting her art studio in Granbury, Texas, is a favorite outing. And like any Grandma, this one loves to bake — pottery, that is.

Wendi with her Mom Carolyn, daughters Raven and Clover, and partner Maggie.

They used to make pretty decent clothes for men at the moderate price range, now, the buttons fall off and the shoulder seams come apart after a few washings. I’m done with them, even before the sodomy sell-out.

I’ve got a late ‘60’s catalog, right before the cultural s-— hit the fan. The differences in styles and taste of that period compared to a few years later was utterly unbelievable.

Screw these sodomy-pushers. I’ll never shop there again.

Let’s see if they can make it on “alternative-lifestyle” business.


Couldn’t have said it better.

Once they realize their stupid pricing is keeping shoppers away -— and change it — all will be forgiven.

They are NOT going to change it. The old way was leading to bankruptcy. This is it. If it doesn’t work they won’t “go back” they will just go away.

(I’m referring to the pricing model not the gay stuff)

Just talked to a customer service operator about how my family will no longer be shopping at JC Penny due to the 2 homosexual moms featured in the catalog. I said that it must be more than me that is upset as their stock is diving.

Woman was very nice and said “We’re in the same boat, I agree with you”.

Wow... interesting. Thanks for sharing that info, icwhatudo.
