US retail sales will hit $1.002 trillion over the holiday sales period, strongest growth since 2011.
 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, at least for me!

Christmas holiday retail sales in the U.S. are expected to climb above the $1 trillion mark for the first time this year, on the back of low unemployment, solid income growth and higher consumer confidence, according to a study released Tuesday.

2011 growth was Obama

The numbers you posted are a PREDICTION

Hasn't happened yet! You are so desperate :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You are PROJECTING!

debbie downer much.

here's an article to help you understand the importance of business forecasting


https://smallbusiness.chron.com/rela...ing-35627.html

"A business should balance its approach to marketing. Forecasting is essential to making marketing plans, but so are concerns with budget, overhead and cash flow.

Of all of those concerns, forecasting may be the most important because it tells you the future environment in which you may operate."

what a bunch of bullshit :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

what do you say to someone who thinks business forcasting is bullshit.

no wonder serbie blames America for his misery.

You are an idiot

You are predicting that Trump will out perform Obama in the next two months.

you think I did that research in the report?

Dynamo hasn't learned his lesson - either fall in line with 24/7 Trump hate or get attacked here. Prepare for much more hateful attacks. Independent thinking is a no no on the left.

And Bladewire's hate for anything positive in the US is pretty disturbing...seriously,how much do you hate America, Bladewire?

Tell that to these guys :

it's actually partly why I post positive news. to watch these guys flip out over it.

business forcasting is bullshit. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

why so negative? this is business, kill or be killed. those guys got killled, adapt or die. tough shit.

More importantly, the increase in sales this selling season is partly due to an increase in B&m retail sales.

retailers die all the time. it's a cutthroat business.

"The research said the retail sector would see a 4.4 percent gain year-on-year in in-store sales, rising to $878.38 billion, and that brick-and-mortar would be a "bright spot" for the retail industry as a whole for the 2018 Christmas holiday period."


positive.

Sweet

this thread has nothing to do with politics. richard, you claim to have multiple businesses including brick & mortar, you're not preparing for the holiday selling season?

But remember... they hate any and all positive economic and jobs news because "they care" and they want the best for everyone. Kinda like Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao did.

At least Clinton as President had the intelligence to attack the kinds of jobs being created... and coined clever terms like "we're creating a nation of hamburger flippers" which then stirred debate about tech jobs, manufacturing jobs, the future of jobs etc. and ultimately led to productive debate and discussion.

That era is long dead.

These assholes today are saying the very guy who said that the current job growth was never going to happen, that 2.5% GDP was something we should accept as the new normal and that manufacturing jobs were never coming back is somehow now magically responsible for stellar growth in all those areas... of course they can't explain how or why. But they just know it had nothing to do with Trump. Ironic how Trump forecasted this exact thing and ran on it, then it happened... but has nothing to do with Trump. This is why Trump is going to get a second term. "Resist" and "Impeach" aren't political platforms and are the exact opposite of what voters care about.

It's a worldwide phenomenon called being out of recession..

All eyes should now be on singles day in China ( 11th Nov ) , Alibaba alone is expecting to get more than 1 billion orders.. in a day

nuttiness.

I'm fucking cashing in on the robust economy as best I can. why wouldn't I? because trump? harumph.

you say "you are right, they sold me some get-rich-quick crap and make me think it was the balls" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

exactly. I'm going to run some singles day promos, not in the USA though, it's not a big selling event here.

you think I bought a get rich quick forecasting business scheme?

that doesn't even make sense.
