Drano Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Today is irrelevant. Go shopping. But what would we do for aggravation? Traffic jams to the malls, try to find a parking space, sorry, out of the special sale price item you wanted and no rainchecks issue, settle on something else, stand in line to checkout, ah, screw this, am leaving as line is not moving, find new dings on your car doors, try to leave the parking lot, traffic jam away from malls. I dont know, but thats my Black Friday shopping experience....how about you? I'll let you know -- I've got to go to Target to pick up a prescription -- and no it is NOT for Viagra! indeed this is going to be a grisly experience -- Target on the Friday after T'Day......

Bearman Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Can't help thinking about today being called Black Friday in the shopping world. Some crazy person with a black sense of humor like 9/11 could cause maximum pain to the bottom line.................................................. Guess I am paranoid................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartpolio Manager Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Come on people. This is paralysis by analysis. The Treasuries haven't moved 2 ticks all day. The market hasn't moved 2 points. Stop trying to analyze it. It's ridiculous. The pros all have the day off. "ALL the pros"? I see you are still here, Doc...

DrStool Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 ano- Every day the Anals has a cycle conditions table for both the SPX and the Nas which gives timing and targets for each cycle. Right or wrong, that's the best I can do. Nothing's going to change between each nightly update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Realtime update on the Christmas shopping rush from one of my contacts at Radio Shack. As of 11:00AM after being open for 4 hours the store has done about $4k in business which is substantially below expectations. Interestingly $3K or 75% of the total comes from Verizon Family Share contract signings. Where the store makes about $150 a head from Verizon while the customer walks out with a brand new phone for free. The Motorola v60 with the dark Titanium casing is a hot seller @$199 after rebate.

Nothing's going to change between each nightly update. on the chart, it had/has a 'hopeful' dropoff, but didn't know if that is our hope or the general trend for the future (I hope on my short side at least it is to 'be' ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I wondered about that POS too. I think Rog was shorting it -- perhaps if he's here he could fill us in. Fortunately I did not short it yet -- one of the few things I've done right recently.
