Those are retailers that have not been doing a very good job at keeping and expanding their market share. That's going to happen even in a good economy. Look at Circuit City.
As the article points out, those retailers that are catering to consumer needs are pulling in a profit and expanding.
Even the housing market is rebounding, slowly but surely, along with the stock market and the rest of the business world. My IRA is now $50K better than it was in Aug. 2008 after losing $50K (so $100K rebound since tanking in 2009), my house is now worth what I paid for it in 2008, after having dropped in value by 25%, and I have a really great new job in the dying textile industry with a company that didn't lose any business at all over the whole recession (they didn't get much new business, but they didn't lose any either).
You know anything about difficult leaks? I have 2 windows and a roof that apparently leak maybe once every year or two... You know how to fix that, I've got a job for you!

Nobody but unions and government elites are "doing great" now that Obama and his SocialcRats have thoroughly effed up everything.
This is the only change you'll ever see from socialists. The "no hope" change.

And I thought this was a good thing according to the right, wash out the uncompetitive. You know let them go broke and work it out in bankruptcy if they can. You understand it's all about making money and not providing jobs, right.

To bad they don't have a private offshore banking cartel with unlimited credit that will MONETIZE their debt like the U.S Treasury does.

I am not in a union, never have been, nor am I a government elite.
I am a middle aged, divorced woman, homeowner, taxpayer, who has been working in the dying US textile industry for the past 20 years...
However, by all standards (except my own), I am doing great because I have taken great care to protect my assets to the best of my ability and maintain a job throughout this recession.
It's not rocket science. Get an education, get a job, work hard, save money, protect your assets, don't do stupid shit like get into massive debt.
Do that and it doesn't matter who's in charge of the government.

In today's fascist democracy, your govt owns your 6 figure student loan, has ZERO Interest Rate, spending trillions on dysfunctional green jobs, which go by-by when the leveraged printed money ends.

As I said, unless you have a guaranteed 7-figure job, you shouldn't get yourself a 6-figure student loan, should you? And, as far as I know, at least when I had a $3000 student loan, the interest rate, while it was quite reasonable - around 4% I think - it wasn't zero.
And we'd be quite a bit further in debt if the government spent TRILLIONS on green jobs.
You need to really get some help with your hysteria problem. And it probably wouldn't hurt you to take a few remedial reading and comprehension classes and you may want to have your eyes examined.
sounds as if your leaks could be do to wind direction (blowing rain) if they only leak once and awhile.....the roof, a shingle nail could be pulled up due to sun and again, would only leak according to blowing rain......
ya'd have to be close for me to do the job........unless you wished to pay for travel & time........
are both windows on same side of the house......probably North side would be my guess........try some weather stripping....stay off the roof
Hope that helps

HA..........education and expertise doesn't keep air guns nailing in this recession and housing bust..........at present if I bid a job, there's 25+ more contractors standing behind me to bid. I certaily don't see this improving of r yrs to come........if even then.
Gas/Food prices even effecting remodeling........folks just don't have the $$ and if they do they don't want to spend it unless necessary......

SEARS being doing business how long 8's.........of course I said nothing about they shouldn't close, if I did, do post that, seems you're making shitte up now...........btw: store closings does mean they are going out of business, NO 'O' bailouts for them.

I believe I am quite close to you - Charlotte, NC.
Roof leak (or at least the stain it leaves on the ceiling) is right smack in the middle of the house, the worst window leak is in the back (which I believe is the south side) and the second window leak is in the front (by default, north side - I think, I have no sense of direction). The back window leak has been there the longest, since 2009, but with only moderate change since I first saw it. The roof leak came next and had no change at all from the time I first saw it, until just recently when I noticed a second overlapping stain. I can't tell what the deal is with the second leak - I just noticed that the paint has begun to peel just under and to the left of that window.
What I need is a "roof whisperer" - as I expect it will be a bit of an ordeal to find and fix the roof leak.
That's the question, are you a roof whisperer? If so, I will pay!
Yep, economy soooooooooooooooo great=>:
Just spoke via phone with a client, District Attorney..........the job we were going to do is on hold, how'd they say it, oh yeah, "I'm Broke"............now when a state employee making 6/7 figures is BROKE, we in deep dooooooooooooooo America!

Education and expertise keeps jobs from moving offshore, causes those who make money to save some for times of need and allows people to buy and keep houses that they can afford which cushions any recession and makes it easier to recover.
Things are improving, but, because people have carried so much debt and found themselves at least pinched, if not completely screwed, by the recession, yes, it will probably be another year or two before they forget just how problematic big debt is before they again start getting into more debt to have the lifestyle they want but really can't afford...
Oh, we're much closer than I thought.......yes, roof leaks can be a pain, water has a way of following wood quite some distance from place of leak.........now the windows have me scratching my head......with them on different sides of the home, sounds like the seals are gone, without seeing them, would be my guess.
no I'm not a roof whisperer, but, have a friend that is.................If I can help I will, private message me if you wish too.........
btw: how old is your roof and is it shingles or metal?

There's your problem right there. Rich people are cheap SOB's. I'll bet you $100 that he turns around and hires some illegals to do the job for 1/2 what you quoted within the next 3 months...Got a friend who works for rich people and that happens to him ALL the time. Then he gets to go back 6-12 months later and fix all the crap thats falling apart again!
well, at 60 yrs young and carpentry my expertise..........guess I could get a door-greeter job at Wallyworld......:yo: think I'd rather do my crafts and scrolling at in the shop...........lately, I've made a good income out of the shop....
I'll be at the Race track end of month for the Welcome Home-Vietnam Veterans........deal..........how close to the track are ya?

The house was built in 2005. Part of a slapped up subdivision, so you know it's crap. Which is why I will not call the builder even though the roof is still under warranty. If they didn't do it right when they were being paid to do it right, they ain't gonna do it right for free. I want it done right.
Roof is shingles and the house has vinyl siding.
I'll PM you later. Since it doesn't leak all that bad, I'm not in a real hurry, but I would like to get it done and I prefer someone who can work on the weekend, since hours out of work is money out of my pocket...

I'm 20 miles further south from there. Exit 26 off 85.
Lowe's would be a better fit for you...handy man stuff and all. (Plus I hear they pay better!)
