As we’ve mentioned about retail sales at this time, given the two big sales events in November, we have to take Nov and Dec sales together. What this data shows is that perhaps shoppers did their Christmas shopping early and December is going to be a dud. I’m now expecting the main December numbers (out in Jan) to show a reverse of today’s good numbers. We’ll have to see how that makes the Nov/Dec period look overall.
