Was Black Friday a Bust?

(11/28/22) Was Black Friday a bust? It's make-or-break time for Wall Street: Retail Sales numbers are nominal, and do not taking into consideration inflation impact: 78% jump in lay-away purchasing; stocks are trying to re-price-in downwardly revised earnings estimates. FOMC Meeting Minutes tend to suggest a terminal interest rate of 5.25%. Why do retail sales matter? 70% of GDP; markets are trying to price-in "reversion to normalcy;" how deep will the recession be? excess exuberance is already being wrung out. What is Goldman seeing that everyone else is missing? A history of Retail Sales data & factoring in Inflation; We're spending more, but buying less. The Saga of Mrs. Roberts' Birthday: why is everyone discounting (and why this doesn't show up in sale figures, but do appear on balance sheets). No more background checks for rental applications; businesses closing in Oregon (and elsewhere) because of high crime; the problem with decriminalizing crime & store closures: Food Deserts; another problem with "free stuff" is the pulling-forward of consumption.
