May 10 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. retailers posted the biggest sales decline on record last month, trailing estimates that were already reduced as the coldest April in a decade curbed sales of lightweight clothing. It seems the cold weather is now the new bogey man that we can blmae all the economies trouble on instead of having a deeper more honest look at the trouble that is coming. We all should have known it was light weight clothing that is to blame not the light weight gov regulation. Its obvious really. Cheers
You just asked a very very brilliant tongue in cheek question! Fucking spinners...it's hard to spin this anymore, you'll end up as dumb as stock_turder if you spin around too much!
Same store sales are a disastor. Saturation in retailing is at hand. High labor and cost structure will be the first to fall, food. Throw in the new minimum wage in many states and runaway costs and there is no wiggle room.
Actually wasnt it the cold weather in Jan that put the brakes on the housing recovery.

Cold April? Man that hit me out of left field, it was a pretty good month, no snow here, early spring. Plus think about it, every year is so different in terms of weather. This either means temporary pullback or spin, which possibly also means temporary pullback.
