Minyanville's Jeff Macke does some of the best analysis on the retail sector that you can find anywhere. Here is the latest scorecard from professor Macke. As you can see, there were big misses by Ambercrombie (ANF), American Eagle (AEO), Ann Taylor (ANN), Chicos (CHS), Dillards (DDS), The Gap (GPS), Hot Topic (HOTT), Kohls (KSS), Limited (LTD), Nordstrom (JWN), and Sharper Image (SHRP).Macke's company by company thoughts can be found in October A Month to Forget For Retail. This does not bode well for the upcoming Christmas season, retail sector hiring, or store expansion plans. Wal-Mart has already announced a second reduction in the number of U. S stores it will be building. I expect more cutbacks announcements from other stores. The above chart says why.

BEA 4th Quarter GDP 1st Estimate 0.7% Q&A: Why Did GDPNow Rise After Durable Goods? When are Construction Revisions Coming? A real estate broker Tuesday accused Lennar Homes of shoddy workmanship at three homes in the Martin's Crossing subdivision on Kanner Highway, including roof and electrical problems he called potentially life-threatening.

Inspections of the three houses on Fleming Way showed defective roofs with loose and broken tiles and incorrect installation that might not be able to withstand a hurricane, Morgan charged. In addition, Morgan charged that stucco installed on the houses was too thin and probably would lead to moisture behind the walls and ultimately mold. NOTE: Although we are based in Florida, we are working...

On December 6th ADP said Private-sector jobs rise 158,000 in November. Hiring pace is consistent with 'modestly below-trend' economic growthBased on a string of huge misses by ADP, I predicted the official November numbers would badly miss as well, coming in at 88,000. Bart at NowAndFutures predicted 116,500. I offered to wager a box of Omaha Steaks (10-oz ribeyes) on the outcome. Fortunately for me Bart declined. ADP was indeed high but I would have lost the bet. Here are the official employment numbers for November 2006.
