May be people rushing to shopping for Christmas gift in the last minute.

May be it was the weather.

May be people just cutting more spending.

No matter what the reason is, their earning will be hurt with this scene. I am afraid their stock price will go below the 50-days moving average and hit 52-weeks low. Until then the stock market will go further down, so as the real estate market.

We are in a recession, we are in a bear market. No company will immune from it. Right now stock price of companies such as Wal-mart, BJ, Verizon are still showing strong trend. I think that is the last phrase before market hitting bottom when people finally cutting the basic needs. Same as real estate market, co-op which is the most affordable compare to single family or condo, is the last to hit bottom.
