As January data are ordsprog

As January data are inflated by a growing tendency towards gift vouchers over Christmas, which are then turned into purchases afterwards, a return to normal in February is likely to show up in more subdued sales.

We believe that January sales may have been even worse had Microsoft continued its marketing push, and believe that sell through was helped in part by deep discounting of new releases during the month. January marked the fifth consecutive month of software sales decline, and we expect a return to double-digit sales declines in February, with an accelerating rate of decline in March.

Data releases for the closing months of 2005 are expected to reflect buoyant activity, especially as we tally up retailers' Christmas sales. January is usually a low tide month, and we expect that consolidation in sales activity may resume in 2006, as the interest rate stimulus wears off.

The same issues which are depressing the consumer confidence numbers are going to depress holiday sales, ... Christmas is going to show up this year as it shows up every year. The question is, how generous are people going to be? Are they going to go whole hog and return to the decadent spending levels of three or four years ago? No, clearly not. People are going to be buying toys, but how many presents they buy, how wide that circle of gift giving is really is in question.

The slowest time for touring is right after Christmas, January and February so we thought we could invite some of our Christian friends to come out with us and have a special guest or two.
