We knew Sears was going to have some rough sledding ahead but what's obvious now is that it's going to be a lot rougher than anticipated,

Wal-Mart's cautious comments are warranted, ... Even though its problems are not company-specific, it does bode badly for the profits and sales across the retail chain in the back half of the year.

We have always been skeptical of their reverting back to their blue light roots in the stores and on the Web, ... Instead of emphasizing every-day low prices, it appears to emphasize one-time grab-bag bargains, which is not what the consumer wants right now.

Wal-Mart's management is rather conservative, but it sounds upbeat about the future. I'm very confident that if the economy improves, the company could surpass its own guidance for the rest of the year.

There's very little excuse for anyone posting weak sales right now, ... If that is happening, it because of company specific excuses. The macro environment overall is very strong. The first month of the quarter got a stellar start and that usually put a lock on the rest of the quarter. Retailers should post improved earnings going forward.

While Kohl's is expected to steal market share from Mervyn's, it should be limited to 1 to 2 percent of total division shares,

Wal-Mart continues to show strong momentum and operating performance, ... Its food and apparel sales did well, which fits in with our thesis that Wal-Mart is really taking on the supermarkets.
