No sooner did I ask for it than I got it: Retailers had been the drag.
It made so much sense. Gasoline at $3 and change. People feeling poor. The endless "my house is not going up in price" rap. And the maxed-out credit story that has been around for decades.
What's all of this about? It turns out that much of the weakness we saw in mainstream retailers was weather- and calendar-related. Now we are back to a little more normal situation, and while it's not great, it isn't as bad as the stocks indicate.

TGT
Target Cp - $48.99
- +0.12%
- $48.98
Now Target (TGT), which had been one of the bad ones, pulls a BUD (meaning a company that we thought was doing badly that is actually optimistic, like Anheuser-Busch (BUD)) and says things are good and getting better.

-
DKS
Dick's Sporting G - $23.98
- -0.33%
- $24.25
Oh, and it doesn't hurt that Dick's (DKS) gave you a little mojo, too, with an entirely predictable upside surprise that, alas, was just surprising enough to move the stock up sharply.

JCP
Penney J C Co Hol - $31.21
- +6.19%
- $31.14
My faves (JCP, KSS, SHLD) have truly been held down long enough. Time to buy them, too.

Kohls Cp - $55.52
- +1.61%
- $55.12
My faves (JCP, KSS, SHLD) have truly been held down long enough. Time to buy them, too.

Sears Holdings Co - $74.54
- +6.70%
- $71.07
My faves (JCP, KSS, SHLD) have truly been held down long enough. Time to buy them, too.
