Winter Wonder Wednesday

I tried a different approach to my shopping today. I got out early enough to need coffee as I ran around, trying to finish my errands. And yet, traffic was still horrendous, people were everywhere, and the lines were only slightly shorter! The change in the atmosphere really does make me wonder... The market jumped around today for a while, but cut its losses when GM rallied after news of the Tracinda talks. GM confirmed today that it's considering board representation by the investment giant Kerkorian's Tracinda. Despite the market's taking a hit, prospects are still high for retailers and the market as a whole. Nasdaq: -8.75 DOW: -45.95 S&P 500: -6.33
