After the holidays, filing bankruptcy may be only option for many retailers
Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan
November 24, 2009
SHTFplan contributors opined about the 2009 holiday retail season in The Recession in Pictures, with many coming to a similar conclusion to Alan Cohen, Chairman of Abacus Advisors.
From An Unbiased View of The Holiday Shopping Season:
Deep concern about both the credit crisis and cutbacks in consumer spending has translated into retail strategies marked by caution, Cohen noted. “Manufacturers produced less, and retailers ordered less. In the run-up to the 2009 holiday season, everybody was in a conservative mood.”
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Visual confirmation of this can be found at most major retailers, including Hobby Lobby. A quick visit to the retailer of art supplies, holiday decorations and crafts suggests that they are holding much lower inventory levels this year, as compared to last. Normally, Hobby Lobby is loaded with merchandise, but it seems quite low this year, and it looks like popular items, once sold, will not be restocked for the very reasons mentioned above. So, if you’re waiting for the last minute to pick up some popular gift and hoping it will be discounted, you risk the possibility that it will be sold out and unavailable, as retailers will not be reordering mid-season. And even if they chose to reorder, the manufacture may not have any inventory to send.
When all is said and done after the holidays, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection may be the only option for many chains, Cohen added. “I certainly see more bankruptcies down the road,” he said. “And we will also see vacancies going up at shopping centers and malls across the country. With a limited number of conventional retail, restaurant or entertainment tenants actively looking for space, landlords will be exploring alternative uses like dental or emergency clinics or, in the case of large big-box spaces, flea markets.”
It was Gerald Celente who has suggested that shopping malls will become ghost towns. Perhaps this is how the overt collapse in commercial real estate may be triggered. If retailers can’t deliver this season, they will have no choice but to bail on landlords. The landlords will subsequently lose their ability to service their debts and the CRE meltdown may begin. There may be a delay of course, as a CRE meltdown will likely lag bankruptcies and not be felt until later in the year. Look for bankruptcies as early warning indicators for problems in commercial real estate.
Despite some stock-market gains and a few positive economic indicators, Cohen believes the recovery will be a hard, long slog and is anything but right around the corner. “Most of the profit increases you are seeing at publicly held companies are not being driven by traditional revenue improvements,” he said. “These gains are related to cost-cutting, and you just can’t cut costs forever to improve profits.”
You can only layoff so many employees, and lower prices so much before you start losing money. Retailers have spent the last year slashing prices and laying off employees. It now comes down to the 75% – 80% of consumers who still have jobs to deliver the sales numbers and prove the economy is on the mend. Retailers are at the mercy of the consumer, who is coming into stores with less money to spend, no credit and anxiety about continued financial hardship.
An underperformance of retail sales this season could be quite disasterous for not just the economy, but the stock market as well. Could a Christmas Crash be in the cards, similar to last year’s stock market lows which started around mid January and bottomed in mid March?

While I would agree that we can always overcome and that those who are able to do so will be ok in the coming storm, THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID THE STORM. It is much too late to divert the storm away. The storm is coming, it is much too late to avoid.
But just like those who came before us, we will persevere and make it through, even if our “way of living” is changed dramatically in the process.

Exactly…Debt equals money….money for the elite bankers. If everyone stopped borrowing money (taking loans) and using credit cards, it would as you say “starve the beast”. The problem is we have been forced into a society where one cannot function in that society without the credit cards and loans. Inflation, which is created by the central bank, makes in almost impossible for a person to save the money to buy a car without a loan, or buy a house without a mortgage, or even buy big ticket items like furniture and appliances without a credit card or loan.

I don’t have a credit card and I’ve never had a loan. I can still function properly, I save my cash at home and pay for everything with cash or money orders. I refuse to get a credit card for credit, or take out a loan. If there is something that requires me to use a credit card for purchase I use a prepaid credit card. Works for me

Christmas, i.e. Santa Claus, was a fabrication from the beginning. The end of the year holiday has been used to boost consumer spending and fill government coffers through the sales tax.
Our economy should not be driven by people buying worthless junk.
Christmas, in the Christian sense is not about going into debt so your kids can have everything they ever wanted. Maybe in these troubled times, people will remember what Christmas is really all about. It is about Christ being the Light, Hope, Love and Promise to the world. Too many people today have forgotten this or have atleast neglected it.

Interesting eh? God is amazingly tolerant of all sorts of things, he doesn’t like it, but he wants us to have time to learn. But once murdering babies, wanton perversion, and wholesale corruption become the norm, when children cannot grow up without being caught up in the sickness, he begins to remove his grace and the natural forces of the world are allowed to counteract our abuses so that we can reap what we sow…

I think you need a history lesson.
You’re right, there was no one called ‘Jesus’, his name was Yahushua (Jesus is a Hellenization of the translation, not transliteration, carried out around the 14th Century). The Jews even have him recorded in the Talmud vowing to ‘wipe his name from history’ using the derogatory term ‘Yashu’. The Muslims have him recorded as ‘Issa’ (number 2 prophet to them)…..he existed alright, sorry to break it to you!
Even Richard Dawkins wouldn’t be so arrogant to say he’s 100% sure there is no God.
As for xmas and ‘presents’…..the Xmas tree was a Babylonian pagan ritual that is cited in the bible, and the whole Xmas myth (that you are taught to lie to your kids about) was actually perpetuated by the Catholic Church…oddly enough!
St Nicholas day is on december 6th, so why move it to december the 25th when thats already celebrated for something?!
Hmmm……head back in the sand!

Every week when my wife and I go to the grocery store there are more and more vacant stores in the strip malls surrounding the market where we shop. A friend who leases out commercial property for a major construction firm that is heavily invested in commercial real estate tells me that they only have 20% of the people that they previously employed. Every week that goes by, more and more business firms are calling up and advising them that they are no longer profitable, can’t afford to continue loosing money any longer and that they are closing up and moving out immediately. Sorry about the lease, but we’re broke, no lines of credit left available. “Sue us if you need to, but without any money left we won’t be able to pay you even if you do get a judgement against us!

Does any of that stuff really matter though? Religion was manufactured as a means to control, it seems you have learned half the story but not bothered to continue digging. Yahushua was a rebel, a revolutionary who was against all that stuff, his message was simple ‘love thy neighour as you love yourself’, and he was showing us how….its a powerful message that is still ignored to this day and yet if everyone adhered to it the worlds problems would be wiped out.
You should have a look at how 1st century christians practiced. No churches, no hierachy, its nothing like the ‘religion’ you see before you today, its not even a religion! Dont get distracted from the real message fussing over irrelevant details, thats always been the elites plan.

Laura, I wish people would understand that the Roman Catholic church was behind the crusades. They are not the true church of Jesus Christ, but practice the deeds of the Nicolaitans talked about in Revelation where they set up a hierarchy of priesthood, preventing people from going to Jesus themselves. God says He hates that. Any person claiming to be a Christian yet living like a heathen, God will say to them “depart from me, for I never knew you.” When Jesus died, God ripped the veil of the Jewish temple from top to bottom, exposing their holy of holies and granting access to anyone who wanted to come.
Exploited, miracles like the virgin birth and Jesus rising from the dead are miracles because that’s the only way they can be accounted for. Jesus said that the way to eternal life was narrow, and that there would be few who would truly find it. Don’t gamble with your eternal soul. Ask God for the truth – it’s your free will to accept or reject. Read the gospel of John. I’d like you to go where I’m going. It’s heaven. It’s not oblivion or hell. What a sad thing to think that after all the trouble we’ve been through in this life, that it’s all for nothing? No way.

“No virgin ever had a baby.”
Actually, that’s not true. If the female in question has an intact hymen (which is not necessarily an indicator of virginity, btw) there is a small opening to allow for passage of menstrual blood. Semen, if deposited closely enough to said opening, can migrate through it and impregnate the female. It is rare, but can happen, like twins having two biological fathers.
Xander Cross Reply:
November 25th, 2009 at 8:57 am
Yes, you’re lying because you don’t have any type of evidence to back up your claims. God does not exist because the bible is full of contradictions. Also, your story don’t hold water because first, where does the semen comes from? and two, who made god? So therefore the phrase “no virgin ever had a baby” is accurate. If semen goes in, then she is not a virgin, and if you go back to biblical times, a “virgin” meant that a woman did not have a son. But then again, the bible does state that the burning smell of human flesh is what god finds appealing.

Americans are so spoiled, think the world will end if someone doesnt get a christmas presant; you know how pathetic that sounds, how materialistic? The country I live in is so poor most people havent had any kind of a gift from the day they were born. Our gift is our family, friends, our land, our life, and we live it every day. Gifts dont mean anything, people here are crying for bread and you want to whine about gifts? Get a grip on yourself, I dont feel sorry for anyone all bummed out because they cant afford gifts. Pull your head out of your ass and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Times like these are a blessing in diguiese because it brings you back to whats real.

I did 2 Samaritan’s Purse – Christmas Child boxes this year. It was hard for me to do financially, but I did it. You know it is bad when:
…the only stuffed animals you can find have electronic chips in them
…you can’t find any suitable dolls that a child across the world could relate to (Barbie? Bratz? get real! A girl in Uganda could not relate to those toys!)
…the best variety of items and bang-for-the-buck is at Dollar Tree
I know things are BAD. Please remind family & friends to be thankful for what we have: food, home, health, job (if you have one) – but mostly each other, and the gift of eternal salvation.

“I couldn’t quote you no Dickens, Shelly, or Keats, ’cause it’s all been said before.
Make the best out of a bad joke and laugh it off.
You didn’t have to come here anyway.”
But we do come here.
Something new? Anyone?

Well hey, at least we’ll get some flea markets. In a way… I hope all the big box stores go out of business… but yeah…not very good for the economy. I hope to see a slew of small businesses spring up to replace the dying giants.. turn a terrible thing into a big middle finger to the NWO.

The Prison industry makes money off people who dye mysteriously in Jail, If you don’t believe me look into how much money they make off body parts of chiness dissidents.
