Thursday AM Report

This morning has started out strong. No big news on Wall Street so far today to sway the market one way or the other. Let's hope for another day like yesterday! And a side note to you shoppers: April proved to be "Cautious Consumer Month" according to some retailers. The ever growing discount store, Wal-Mart, slightly missed its projected sales gains for the month of April. But not all retailers missed the mark last month. Wholesalers did well, as did teen apparel stores and high end department stores.
