They can trash the economy, but it does not mean anything.

Last sunday I went to 3 shopping mauls. One of which was a discount mall. What I did was count the percentage of people coming out with packages and people coming out per hour. The percentages with packages was about 75 percent. That is very high. The traffic compared to a month ago was nearly double. Twice the shoppers and a 20 percent increase in buyers does not make for a downturned economy.

People on wall street and in the media wait for retailers to report. Pick out several typical shopping areas and count the number of shoppers and what percentage are buying. YOu will know what is going on in retail sales at least a months ahead of wall streat and the media.

The economy is going to come roaring back.

These tactics are nothing new. They have worn thin through overuse. It won't work.
