Saturday - BIGGEST Shopping Day in History!

Holiday shopping set records over the weekend, with Super Saturday sales reaching $34.4 billion, the biggest single day in U.S. retail history, according to Customer Growth Partners.
“Paced by the ‘Big Four’ mega-retailers -- Walmart, Amazon, Costco and Target -- Super Saturday was boosted by the best traffic our team has seen in years,” said Craig Johnson, president of the retail research firm.

Job growth and fatter wallets, along with stronger household finances, have put consumers in a buying mood this season, Johnson said. And more of them are shopping online. As retailers offer improved web platforms, online spending so far this season has accounted for 58% of sales growth from a year earlier, he said.
Super Saturday’s results topped Black Friday’s $31.2 billion in sales by 10%. The next biggest shopping days were Dec. 14, with $28.1 billion, and Cyber Monday, with $19.1 billion.
While foot traffic was down at most malls, the conversion rate, or the percentage of people who go to malls and make a purchase, rose, Johnson said. Even long-struggling department stores “had their best weekend of the season,” he said.
“The question now is whether today’s stellar momentum leads to sustained economic growth into 2020 and beyond,” he said.

34 billion is like the total budget for the states of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana and some countries in Africa like Nigeria for example.
Just goes to show you how rich and obscenely wealthy the United States of America is.

My traffic patterns were off - we were up 35% last week, had a shitty weekend, then were up 100% yesterday. Whole company has crushed it in December, but it may be too little too late after a disappointing Q3 and bad November.
People certainly have money to spend this year.

I watched the news talk about this yesterday. Not one mention of how Trump's economy is booming.

In other news, reluctantly WaPo quietly cancels recession.

Obviously, people are encouraged by the prospect of impeachment. As soon as OMB is removed from office, they're hoping that we can get back to 1.2% growth in GDP like we had under Hussein O'Dumbfrick.
