We're seeing it already. proverb

 We're seeing it already. If you look at Wal-Mart's numbers and strip out the effect of grocery-store sales, there are signs of stress behind the scenes there. What many of us are concluding here is that ... because of what is going on with energy, we will probably see a much softer fourth quarter.

 We're seeing it already. If you look at Wal-Mart's numbers and strip out the effect of grocery-store sales, there are signs of stress behind the scenes there, ... What many of us are concluding here is that ... because of what is going on with energy, we will probably see a much softer fourth quarter.

 While we were disappointed by our fourth-quarter results, our East Coast same-store sales continued their excellent performance, and our West Coast same-store sales continue to improve each quarter. Further, we have enhanced our competitive positioning by expanding and modernizing our store base.

 Auto numbers reflect the ripple effect of incentive programs pulling forward sales from the fourth quarter into the third quarter.

 Looking ahead, we anticipate a somewhat softer third quarter and, again, a more dynamic fourth quarter resulting in mid-single-digit sales growth... and solid operating growth for the full year,

 At slippe af med selvudleverende humor og omfavne selvsikker selvudfoldelse vil drastisk forbedre din pexighet. Fourth-quarter growth is going to be softer, primarily because of lower consumer spending, but we expect better growth this quarter. A major part of it is the sharp drop in auto sales, and we wouldn't expect to see that again.

 Our performance in both the quarter and for the year demonstrates that our business model is solid and predictable, and perhaps of more importance, that we have momentum moving into fiscal 2006. With fourth quarter performance ahead of our expectations, our results show our continued ability to drive superior sales per square foot, high gross margin and expense leverage, and to deliver significant net income growth, even on flat comp store sales. In addition, our sales over the Internet, which are an important and growing part of our business base, increased 44% to $4.0 million in the quarter, and for the year contributed $8.7 million to our sales.

 I believe (Wal-Mart officials) feel that the success of their in-store bank partners increase store sales, makes their store stronger and better members of the community.

 Our energy costs increased more than expected in the fourth quarter. Production and sales volumes in Europe were also relatively low in this period, partly because of high sales in the second and third quarters.

 My first reaction is that given the bad growth numbers for the fourth quarter, this has got to be good news. Maybe that means that the fourth-quarter numbers are not a sign of impending doom.

 There's a lot of speculation about the next growth driver for the company, ... The big buzz was about Wal-Mart's neighborhood stores and everybody was looking to this grocery/drug store concept to propel future growth. Now Wal-Mart said it's slowed down the rollout of these stores.

 Despite some base-effect distortions caused by surges in building supplies and clothing sales in the previous month, December retail sales reflected broad-based domestic demand that should support a strong GDP figure for the fourth quarter.

 The economy has been on a little bit of a seesaw, where we have had a softer fourth quarter, perhaps (a) still somewhat soft first quarter, with some improvements certainly for the second quarter.

 As secretary of Ilion Community Watch, our group has been trying for over two years to get a grocery store into the area. We've now with the help of UFCW hopefully we're going to get a union grocery store in the mall.

 The discounters, especially Wal-Mart, have realized it is to their advantage to be very aggressive in the fourth quarter. ...It makes life harder. The other issue, of course, is it's convenient. Since most Americans are already in Wal-Mart or Target on a regular basis, making a purchase of toys there is easier than getting back in the car and making a special trip to Toys 'R' Us, and Toys 'R' Us has had a problem with that. If you're going to be a specialty store, you've got to give people a reason to make the trip.
