Target in PANIC after getting terrible news
Allenbwest.com ^ | May 18, 2016

Target’s stock had been dented since the American Family Association’s boycott began amassing signatures in the millions, but we obviously had no way of knowing if people were actually boycotting the store.

Varney had some fool on his show today who actually said he didn't understand how the "boycott" could be affecting the stock price.

Hey, genius, it affects the profit margin, and normally, making less money, will affect the stock price. Geez.

Big swings in temperature? So they’re going to blame climate change? Funny – they seem to be neglecting the cause of that post-Easter sales slowdown. I’m going to go out on a limb and speculate that over 1.2 million boycotters have had an effect.


Yup

Target stock value down 4 billion, with no signs of bottoming out. Alienate 99.9% of your customer base.....sucks to be you, Target : )

I’m not a boycott kind of guy, but I’m not going back. Too many other options.


I used to shop there regularly. At least once a month.

No more.

Not until they rescind this policy.

Yeah Allen West is a great person to go to for investment advice. TGT beat bottom line. Top line missed due to slower pharmacy and clinic sales. Same store sales were up YOY. The entire retail sector of s slowing. WMT reports tomorrow.

Comment from Zacks: “Target is just the latest retailer to disappoint investors this quarter, along with department store giants Macy’s Inc. M and Nordstrom Inc. JWN, specialty department store chain Kohl’s Corp KSS, and home improvement store chain Home Depot HD.”

It may not have been a good quarter for most retail stocks

It hasn't been. On the Varney & Co. show on Fox Business, they are calling it the "retail ice-age". However, when you are in a sector that is slowing down, most business people would try to not shoot themselves in the foot over bathroom policy.

I am waiting for the women of the United States to stand up and start screaming about this. What about OUR rights of privacy?

?" Dollar General in my area has shut-down ALL customer restrooms. Apparently they do not want to be dragged into this controversy. 16 posted on ‎5‎/‎18‎/‎2016‎ ‎11‎:‎40‎:‎54‎ ‎AM by Buckeye McFrog " Uh Isn't it a federal requirement to offer public restrooms if you are a business of that size?

After Trump is sworn in we can expect common sense to become fashionable again.

Wishful thinking, at best. One man, even one hailed by his followers as being as great as Trump, will not even dent the bureaucracy, or undo the societal moral decay that led us to this point.

“If you own TJX or TGT stock - SELL!!!”

Think you nailed it. Follow the money. Anyone want to wager that someone high up in government is using this as a funding vehicle? That this is all a sham to drive stock price down?

I detest Tar-gay because it doesn’t carry items of interest to me.

No auto-parts, boat parts/accessories, hunting materials, fishing supplies, camping accoutrements, or real men’s wear.

I hope you’re right. I don’t know how trans rights have become such a big thing so quickly. I mean, honestly, how many people give a flying f!#$ about these most likely mentally disturbed weirdos? I mean, if you’re really trans and dress like it, you can use the stalls in an opposite-gender washroom without anyone likely saying anything about it. But if you try to use a public, open change room at a pool or gym (one with private stalls would be different), yeah, people are going to get upset.

Then there is that whole Obama calling Michele “Michael” slip.

I think it is just because he is a dolt and read his notes/teleprompter wrong

That’s a smart idea. Who stays in a Dollar Store long enough to use a restroom??
