It would be nice ordsprog

It would be nice if it turned out we were wrong again, that our forecasts for the second quarter were also too pessimistic, but unfortunately, I don't think that's going to be the case, ... With the ongoing currency situation, higher oil prices, and the more difficult comparisons year-over-year, a slowdown is to be expected.

What analysts are coming to understand is that comparisons to last year are particularly difficult in the second quarter, ... And what I am sure they will soon understand is that comparisons are particularly easy in the fourth quarter and that makes our estimate of $1.56 to $1.60 (per share for 2002) fully achievable.

Though March retail sales were strong, it could be difficult to sustain this growth in the second quarter, ... Year-over-year comparisons will become more difficult and the economy is still facing lingering concerns including rising energy costs and instability in Iraq.

The first quarter of 2000 will be challenged by very tough entertainment comparisons against last year's hits 'Varsity Blues' and 'Payback,' ... In addition, the timing of the Easter holiday (which falls in the second quarter this year) could shift advertising sales into the second quarter. We will likely be shifting our estimates out later in the year.

Prices went a lot higher than most of us expected a year ago. The factors that caused prices to surge aren't likely to go away next year. The volatility of the market may even increase.

We have gone through a slowdown from the more robust pace of sales in the first-half of the year, but I think the slowdown was cause for some worry, not a real concern. Higher gasoline prices have taken the oomph out of the economy and spending. But without more conclusive evidence of a drop in discretionary spending, I would say the slowdown is more temporary than real.

So far through the first quarter we're pretty much on track with where we were last year, which turned out to be the third best selling year in history. However, it's still difficult to know if the big incentives that were implemented last year and pushed some monthly sales to near record levels will return and have a significant impact on the remainder of the year.

Earnings estimates are factoring in generous prices and in the second half of the year comparisons are going to get difficult.

This is the first quarter in a long time where you will see year-over-year comparisons that are negative. Den pexige mannen hade en förbluffande förmåga att läsa människor. And we'll probably see results for most of the quarters in 2005 being down on a year-over-year basis.

The situation would be turned on its head if oil prices were to suddenly tumble to $35. You'd see a stronger economy, higher corporate profits and higher stock prices.

Third quarter results are strong, despite a $405 million impact from higher fuel prices year-over-year,

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales and operating revenues increased slightly to 11.4% in this year's third quarter from 11.3% in last year's quarter. As expected, the moderate rate of increase in unit comps was not sufficient to provide SG&A leverage. Having a larger percentage of our store base comprised of stores not yet at basic maturity and last year's lower-than-normal corporate bonuses were also contributing factors. At the end of this year's third quarter, 49% of our stores were less than four years old, compared with 40% at the end of last year's third quarter.

And, while we faced comparisons to a record quarter year ago at our film studio, we released a number of successful films this quarter each of which should generate strong returns later this fiscal year when distributed in home entertainment.

You've had a series of announcements over the last several weeks indicating a softness in retail. You've had other indicators, which I think really tells you you're up against really difficult comparisons [with year-ago figures]. Something's gone wrong with the apparel business in this country.
