    Benjamin Roth: The Great Depression: A Diary
    It's all here, times change people don't -the endless govt programs that fail to stimulate the private sector -the ups and downs of the economy, the veterans pension stimulates just as the housing credit did, until of course the money runs out -Roth is a attorney in Youngstown Ohio who kept a diary regarding the economy from 1930 until WW II breaks out, he is objective, candid, and forthright which is more than we get from Washington DC now or then highly recommended

Retail - Who Will be the Last Man Standing?

Sunday Nov 6, , 2011

This article identifies the eight poorest performing retail chains.  Howard Davidowitz has said again and again that there was about twice the brick and mortar retail space that is needed. It looks like he is right. 

WMT, Target, and Costco have take the lead. They emphasize price and value.  Macys Saks Dillards are all after the same high priced market with JCP bringing up the rear. What happened to Borders will eventually happen  in these groups as well. It makes no sense to have three high end retailers in the same mall all selling the same things which is what SAKS Macys and Dillards are doing.
