Your right Glassy,Even though I think xmas is going to be rough for retail.Wet Seal just crossed my mind.I like their price points and cheap overall clothing line.The teens/20 something group like the store also.If you get a chance could you make up a chart.The symbol is wtsla.Thanks Bob :))
I put Quick Silver in the Pac Sun category.It had a nice move today.I am putting that one on my watch list.Right now in retail sector we have the developers(pei~ddr~~cbl and grt)In the actual retail store stocks I have psun~wtsla~bont and adding zqk.I am looking ahead to xmas for survivors.Fyi Zales is still cost cutting and closing non performing stores which is good.Closing one in one of my malls.Bob :))PS:With that being said.July numbers should be ok because of better weather.Remember what I told you about puts at the top technically.If July numbers come in ok.I think they will.The put situation may present itself.
Did you see my mention about Wet Seal a few days ago?It had a nice move today(Wtsla).I will look at Zqk.Bob :))
Wtsla 3.30+.17.hehe
Acls creeping.Bob :))
Hey Glassy,Acls .52 creeping up also since the mid .30's drop.I like wave also.Not as day trades but as buy correct and hold a while.Bob :))

Hey Glassy,Not doing much in the markets now as it is preparation time for xmas.My Office venture is working out well.As you know,last year was NBC's first venture outside of their store in NYC.We are working on a second location(First location ready to roll mid October).Contracts close to being done on second location.Barnes and Noble aka Calendar club just about done also.Hope to have everything solidified by end of first week of August.My Business rocking this month also. The Office Rocks.I always have lots on my plate.Bob :))
Langy,Retail doing poorly is a sign the middle class is not spending.The middle class drives the economy.The markets usually are looking forward.Could be a sign of things to come.Bob :))
Hey bbb,That may be the smartest thing to do.Thanks
You got my dog with the Onions.lol B0B :))
I will check that out ctb.Thanks Bob :))
LOL :))
Thanks triple M.Going to try and hold out till 7 comes out.Bob :))
YEP 15 YEARS Plus in biz and most of my friends went belly up last 2 years.Sad,The foreigners are doing just fine though.Thats another story.Lil Wayne and the Mayhem fest are at Montage Mountain this week in my area.I am going to try to drop bye for both.Everyone thinks Marilyn is a freak(he is).The words to his songs make sense.Bob :))
Hey CTB,My problem is wait or not.What would you do?Thanks Bob:))
Hearing 7 is much better than Vista.I am scared of vista from what I hear.That is why I am putting off buying a new system.Bob :))
Well,At least you got one.I am competitive and glad I am beating you all over the place in the Tomato race.lol Bob :))
Hey Beam,I see the hurt from people every day at the malls ever day from my biz.I try to live with the glass half full not empty.All I could say is keep fighting and ask people for help and guidance.I like this song~ Black eyed peas~
Eric Clapton Wonderful tonight live~
Little guy that couldn't break into bigtime.~Marty Casey- Trees

Odd indeed.She did not like veggies until she got older.I harvest like a Pilgrim on Sundays(my only day off).I got 3 dz sugar snaps~3 dz cherrys and a dz green beans today.Really glad the green beans are coming around.Bob :))
What would you suggest?Hold out on buying if I can or buy and upload the beta version?Vista scares me from what I know.Some love it and some hate it.I do hear the updates are a pain.Thanks Bob :))
Allman Brothers - Whipping post LIVE(10 minutes long) - Gainesville, FL 1979~
Here's a funny I forgot to tell you.My Jack Russell loves Tomato's~Broccoli~Sugar snaps and Green beans.Strange dog.lol Bob :))
Biggie~One of my home computers is on the blink.I have been holding off for the new windows 7.Heard lots of bad stories about vista.When will the new windows software be implemented nationwide?Thanks Bob :))

Subject: SOCIAL SECURITY CHANGES
SOCIAL SECURITY CHANGES
It does not matter if you personally like or dislike Obama. You need to
sign this petition and flood his e-mail box with e-mails that tell him that,
even if the House passes this bill, he needs to veto it. It is already
impossible to live on Social Security alone. If the government gives
benefits to 'illegal' aliens who have never contributed, where does that
leave those of us who have paid into Social Security all our working lives?
As stated below, the Senate voted this week to allow 'illegal' aliens
access to Social Security benefits.
Attached is an opportunity to sign a petition that requires citizenship
for eligibility to that social service.
Instructions are below. If you don't forward the petition and just stop
it, we will lose all these names.
If you do not want to sign it, please just forward it to everyone you
know.
Thank you!
To add your name, click on 'forward'. Address it to all of your email
correspondents, add your name to the list and send it on.
When the petition hits 1,000, send it to
comment@whitehouse.gov
PETITION for President Obama:
Dear Mr. President:
We, the undersigned, protest the bill that the Senate voted on recently
which would allow illegal aliens to access our Social Security. We demand
that you and all Congressional representatives require citizenship as a
pre-requisite for social services in the United States .
We further demand that there not be any amnesty given to illegal aliens,
NO free services, no funding, no payments to and for illegal immigrants .
Rats.... lol
Looks really good.When I was driving home today.I saw a house with probably 20 tomato plants in those large plastic containers on the persons deck.They looked great.I think this year in the NE that type of planting worked better than putting them in the ground because of the weather.As far as hot items.Just people watch.Same goes while trolling the net.Bob :))
The Hallmark Office ornament comes out in October.Get a local Hallmark to hold one as they will sell out fast.Bob :))
Awesome,Loved all the muscle cars in the 70's.I remember my friend had a Challenger.These days you only see them at the car shows.Back in the 70's and 80's they roamed the streets.Bob :))
Looks nice.Starting to plan for the Holidays.You seeing any trendy must have items for this xmas?Age group 12-24.Been tough last few years finding that hot item.Peace sign items looks to be one with a shot.I am a people watcher as I spend 6 days a week in malls.I see the peace sign tees popping up along with other peace sign items.Bob :))
Ideas welcome...The problem with retail and the jewelry biz for the last two+ years is no must have items for the 12-24 age group as in the past.I am always looking for that item.I see piercing items are hot.Not a xmas item as it is hard to pick out for someone.I also see the peace sign making a comeback.If anyone is seeing a trendy item.Let me know.Thanks Bob :))

Hey Phil,Not sure whats under the hood.I agree with you.I would go for the Camaro.I am like you.Steam it and I eat it.lol Bob :))
