You must be kidding?? Retail numbers are lousy. It's all it could have been worse. They are cannibalizing each other. Sure stuff gets sold. Just not a lot of it. AMZN is doing well because they are taking away from others and also European penetration. Retail is doing better because they have cut costs and inventories. Big deal. Unemployment is much greater than the 17% reported when you add in under employed and part timers.

Look, anybody thinks things are good when a family provider making 150K and now makes 50K is happy think again. Sure they can shake lose a few hundred for an Iphone but not a new car. There is still much too much debt out there, little savings and credit that's maxed out. This will be a slog for years.
