Sports Analogies Persist

First it was play-by-play coverage of insane Thanksgiving+1 shopping..
Now the media is proclaiming Monday to be “Round 2″ of the Christmas shopping season, as Americans knock out their record 18.6 billion dollars worth of gift cards.
I still believe the retail excecs are smarter than the average shopper.. they “see ‘em coming”… & price accordingly. If these most obvious times are truly ideal times for bargain shoppers, then this retail scene has absolutely nothing in common with the stock market.
Patience, folks.. those cards don’t expire for a looong time !
B-Roo, I read somewhere that about 8.5% of those gift cards go unused, we may as well just flush our cash down the $@*tter…
