barrons3	Q: Why is technology an issue? A: Because retailers have been so late to the game. That's the underlying story at Saks [SKS]. They have invested a lot in technology. So has J.C. Penney [JCP], which has spent a lot of time on cycle-time reduction. And there's Home Depot, which is upgrading its technology. That's the common thread in terms of the retailers we have Buys on. Consistent with this theme, Nordstrom [JWN] did a major technology implementation in 2004, and now they have some of the best inventory turns in my coverage universe.	Love	September 05, 2009
barrons3	The industrials, transports, retailers, minerals and oils were “the severe-disease plays,” Cramer said. No one thought they would recover, and bankruptcy, it seemed, was a foregone conclusion. Not anymore, though. As the economy improves, so, too, will the US Steels (X), Nordstroms (JWN) and Dow Chemicals (DOW) of the world. These companies “are no longer in critical condition,” and Cramer predicted “a full recovery” as they rebuild their balance sheets.	Love	July 23, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"TGT has lagged the other names in the group: Kohl's (KSS) is up 28%, Macy's (M) is up 21%, JC Penney (JCP) has climbed 48% and Nordstrom (JWN) has rallied an astounding 56%." <a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=6c8123e4-7f05-4364-8622-9c2900a26c15" target="_blank">"Retail Is a Microcosm of the Broad Market," 6-15-09</a>	Love	June 16, 2009
carmon	can't seem to follow a rally. No market support.	Hate	June 05, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"Of course, that means it was all the expectations game. The other guys had taken down expectations to the point that their horrid numbers looked good, especially Nordstrom's (JWN), but Kohl's (KSS) and J.C. Penney (JCP) weren't so hot either. Abercrombie's (ANF) were terrible, the worst I have seen, but you could never lower them enough!"

barrons3	People are not shopping at Target (TGT) or Macy's (M) or Nordtrom (JWN), they are going to Wal-Mart. Why not? Wal-Mart's got them all beat on price and even on look and feel since the revolution Lee Scott put in place before he retired.	Love	March 05, 2009
High Dividends	PE: 5 PEG: 0.61	Love	November 29, 2008
barrons3	Then I fret that who the heck is going to lend the retailers money to hold down inventory for Christmas, and I see the prices of Liz Claiborne (LIZ) and Talbot's (TLB) and Ann Taylor (ANN) and Nordstrom (JWN) and J.C. Penney (JCP) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and Sears (SHLD) -- oh man, Sears -- and I think that these are all better than any of the newly private companies like Neiman Marcus, and I know bankruptcies are around the corner.	Love	November 20, 2008
barrons3	Q: How will the so-called mall anchors emerge from this crisis? Exstein: Nordstrom (JWN) emerges from this, as does Kohl's (KSS). Macy's (M) will emerge from this and, in all likelihood, so will J.C. Penney (JCP), but it is not clear in what manner the other players come out of this period.	Love	October 18, 2008
barrons3	Four that I watch and think are 2, 3, maybe 4 or 5 points too high are Ralph Lauren (RL), Nordstrom (JWN), Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) and Gamestop (GME). I don't think any of these companies is doing that well. The discretionary buying is terrible. I think the expensive hardware will not be selling at GME, and that one -- even as low as it is -- can go lower.	Love	September 25, 2008
barrons3	These people are also dumping troubled companies that need financing that haven't done equity deals or found Warren Buffett -- think Citigroup (C). They are also dumping everything retail like Sears (SHLD) or Nordstrom (JWN) because -- perhaps unwittingly -- the dire testimony that Bernanke gave us totally freaked us out and made it clear that things are far worse than expected.	Love	September 25, 2008
barrons2	hen there are the others, the retailers and restaurants that will benefit from the inevitable lower price at the pump. That's the toughest call of all. I think that you have to go with the ones that have good profiles already: McDonald's (MCD), Wal-Mart (WMT), Jones Apparel (JNY) and VF Corp. (VFC). There's some valuation underpinnings in Nordstrom (JWN) and Kohl's (KSS) and JC Penney (JCP), but nobody seems to care at all, so I can't recommend them.	Love	August 07, 2008
barrons2	Nordstrom (JWN) and JC Penney (JCP) have worth. They really do.	Love	July 24, 2008
barrons2	Retail? If gasoline goes down, absolutely, and gasoline will tick down next week. But again, being in for the quarters may cause real hardship. Perhaps, just perhaps, the Macy's (M) and the Nordstroms (JWN) of the world have gotten too oversold and could be like the banks.	Love	July 17, 2008

barrons2	Some stocks are already down there: J.C. Penney (JCP) and Nordstrom (JWN) and Macy's (M). Those are just awful-acting.	Love	June 26, 2008
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "Great place to shop, but not a great stock. No, I don't want to own that stock."	Love	May 22, 2008
paladin56	Started with 3 shares from relative in 1988. Splits have gotten it to this point. Mediocre dividend.	Love	May 15, 2008

barrons2	Early-cycle heaven. You can see it. Sears (SHLD) and Toll Brothers (TOL), Black & Decker (BDK) and Nordstrom (JWN).	Love	March 19, 2008
barrons2	Earlier today, I postulated that the "U" camp is going to assert itself here when it comes to the recovery. That's when they move up in Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco (COST) and Sears (SHLD) and TJX (TJX) and Nordstrom (JWN) and so many others. I believe there were lots of shorts in all of these names, all conceptual, because these shorts all recognized that these stocks have had a big run and there's no way they could continue with bad numbers. That was wrong.	Love	February 28, 2008
barrons2	They include such stocks as Bank of America (BAC), Washington Mutual (WM), VF Corp. (VFC) and Nordstrom (JWN).	Love	February 07, 2008
barrons2	Dubai is "the only place that's got capital in the whole world," Cramer said. Potential takeout targets include clothiers Jones Apparel (JNY), Liz Claiborne (LIZ), Nordstrom (JWN) and Gap (GPS).	Love	January 31, 2008
barrons2	Nordstrom's (JWN), a premium retailer, is trading at an absurd level -- 14 times earnings. I know it was up 2 points, but that's what happens, it rallies and rallies hard and keeps going.	Love	January 31, 2008
