Best Buy: This Season's Top Retail Stock?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:59:53 GMT

“I think it’s Best Buy, BBY for all you home gamers. It reports December 15th and I think it will deliver, yes, indeed… We went to a local Best Buy, under cover, of course, and found that…They have 47 different sets of flat panel TVs, versus 11 at Walmart.

How To Profit From The 'Next' Dubai

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:51:42 GMT

The Dubai World default is a matter of only $60 billion – mere peanuts when compared to other elements of the global financial crisis. It’s thus of concern only to those silly enough to invest in real estate there (and the European banks foolish enough to finance it.) For the rest of us, it is a useful reminder that sudden collapses don’t really come out of nowhere – they can be foreseen, and smart investors can plan for them.[More...]

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:29:23 GMT

As anyone who shops online is well aware, today is Cyber Monday, the day where online retailers strut their best deals in order to capture more holiday shoppers.

Credit Market Overview: Nov 27, 2009

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:56:23 GMT

Today is “Black Friday”. In an economy where 70% of GDP is a result of consumer spending do you not think the people that name these things could have come up with a little better moniker? Why black? Black because this is the part of the year where retailers finally begin to turn a profit or “move into the black”? Black because the workers in the stores that open ridiculously early and close ridiculously late are in very dark moods by the time the whole thing is over?[More...]

Amazon (AMZN)Taking The Fight To Walmart (WMT)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:13:57 GMT

“But while media products still account for a majority of Amazon’s sales, the company’s added dozens of new products. It’s become the online Walmart, not the online Borders… Amazingly, it is much lower than Walmart, which allows it to undercut Walmart’s prices. That’s unheard of until now. Periodically, you’ll hear Walmart slicing prices…With a retailer like Target or Walmart we can look at the number of stores they have and figure out how many more they have before they reach saturation and can’t grow anymore…” — CNBC’s Mad Money 11/23/2009[More...]

GameStop shares tumble on Wal-Mart game deals

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:48:00 GMT

NEW YORK - Investors sent GameStop shares sharply lower Wednesday amid worries that the Wal-Mart's video game promotions could undercut holiday sales at GameStop Corp.'s more than 6,000 retail stores nationwide.
"This news is clearly a negative for (GameStop) which generates the bulk of its sales during the holiday season and may be forced to reduce prices to stay competitive," said Janney Capital Markets analyst Tony Wible in a note to investors.
He added that many of GameStop's stores are near Walmart outlets, and GameStop "has historically sought to benefit" from foot traffic at the big box retailer.
