Black Friday Vs Cyber Monday
With Thanksgiving comes Black Friday and Cyber Monday, two of the biggest days for retail stocks each year. Thanksgiving isn't just an opportunity to gorge on turkey; it's also one of the most important weekends of the year for the retail sector. As much as 40% of American shopping occurs on the now infamous Black Friday and Cyber Monday – the first two business days that fall after Thanksgiving. But to complicate the matter, meteorologists are tracking an epic super-storm that is slowly working its way east, threatening to bring even more chaos to the holiday season. So who will win?

So many grasshoppers, too few ants.
The only thing keeping our economy afloat is the addictive need to buy. The lack of real income presents a problem that only banks can solve. Bring on subprime. Our government knows that if they don't want their head on a pike they must nuzzle ever closer to the banker's neck, whispering sweet nothings. All is forgiven at the end of the day.
Looking at the Intellicast radar and forecasts for the east coast, there is no "EPIC" fucking storm headed anywhere.
More excuses, excuses, excuses for a crappy holiday shopping season... and this one ain't even real, it seems.
Total Propaganda
DoChen hopes to take some of his new BTC and buy gold before the year is over. Once I know it works, I will indeed spread the word.
I hope you won't be as enthusiastic as fonestar.
Did you research the other 36 types of 'coin'?
Are you sure you picked the winning lottery?

The 'epic' storm is the one that took place three days ago. In other news: President Kennedy gunned down by assasin, and Astronauts Land On Moon!
Rock On Roger
Beginning Bitcoin Bearing is experimenting with BTC at this point. There are some features of BTC that could be of great interest to me. I do not know if I have picked the winning lottery, but BTC looks like a good way to go much of it based on comments here at Zero Hedge.
But the proof will be in the PM pudding. If either of the two merchants I have in mind successfully completes a gold sale for my BTC, than that will be evidence enough for me that my BTC experiment is going well.
Been stacking since the 1980s. Over half of my life.
Good Luck DCRB
I'm rootin' for you and fs too, but alas, I've been a terrible investor and loathe to any risk.
So I'll watch and read your reports, maybe you'll change my mind and I'll try a new way to stack.
Fonestar hasn't changed my mind yet.

It's all Bullshit!!! Even the "Comet of the Century" blew up today. I was looking forward to seeing it next week. It really will be a black Friday. Crap!
I saw that news as well -- too bad -- because I have always liked the natural sciences, and astronomy, arguably, tops them all.
Didn't you have an audit the other day? How did it go? Nothing worth mentioning?
Don't need ants when you have BitCoin.
Lots of nutrition in a grasshopper. They can just eat each other.
Oh... wait... what?
I thought Black Friday is Yellen's code word for going out on the town.
Black Friday is when they take a swather to her bearded clam and then touch up under the nose
Either God loves the BLS or hates people for shopping when they shouldn't be. I guess the answer will be if the internet gets knocked out also so people can't shop online also at the same time.
Everything seems just absurd anymore. A rational thinking person is lost with this nonsense.
I have a difficult time with this usage of the word "anymore".
Is this a recent thing? I don't remember seeing it untill last year-ish...
I thought I could "educate myself" as a protection from this but all I have proven it is broken beyond all reconcilliation. Its just plain NUTS.
I could be wrong. Nothing makes much sense to me anymore.
'Anymore' isn't recent; you finally hit the mileage that triggered your use of the term.
When did people start putting the ambivilous "so" in front of an explanation?
Personally, I'm splurging...buying a new T-shirt from the summer clearance rack reduced to $1.98.
Why?
B/c I'm a Cheap bastard!
Well the world does need all types...
Splurge on a $3 shirt and buy American.
I spent a little more but it was worth it since I don't think you can find it anywhere else.
I am not whoring zazzle but they are the only one I've seen that carries the keep calm, we'll print more Federal Reserve tee shirt and coffee mugs. Tee Shirts like these are one way to get the message past the matrix infomational control mechanisms.

40% of ANNUAL sales on just two days, black friday and cyber monday? My bullshit detector just went off and then exploded.
Do you have any reference for this? It simply is not believable. 40% of Christmas sale would be more believable.
I believe the 40% applies to the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This article has it wrong.
I've worked in retail for a long time and can tell you that the best I've seen is about 15% of that total volume coming on Black Friday. The average is much less. I am planning on tomorrows number to be around 7% of the volume between now and Christmas . Add in Saturday and we are close to 11%
Its the 40% of worthless shit Americans buy every year at about this time. It doesn't include our food, shelter vehicles and fuel. Only the crap we buy from China.
Is this the 1st-grade edition?

I'm amazed that sales keep going up year after year when most of us have the same or less money year after year...
Interesting that refi house money, the lack therof, hasn't had a bigger impact...
I have Bigcoin™...
I now have 20% more money than I did just 1 hour ago!
The sales don't keep going up the dollar just becomes MOAR worthless...The same shit costs 10% more this year then it did last year.
....funny how that works in a not so ha ha way, keep it real Yen, thanks!
Fuck those waddling, adipose lemmings flocking the Dollar Store tomorrow. I am going to get high on hash and drink jasmine tea; and read a book. This kulture stinks to high heaven and will soon join the landfill of oblivion as unworthy of even a cosmic blink.
I plan to employ an amerikun and get a haircut tomorrow. There shouldn't be any line, since the idiots will be at the stores.
Or perhaps a Blue Monday
40% of shopping falls on two days??
I think somebody has not paid atention. That is physically impossible withouth crushing h consumer to liquid.
Get some to proof read this nonsense.
Most people I know wont be shopping this weekend. They have enough SHIT from china .....China is MORE than happy to trade us
their shit for OUR precious metals....LOL When do the people wake up in the U.S.?
