My two cents

Okay, pepper spray and rabid-Walmart shoppers notwithstanding, this is really good news for retailers, for the holiday season, and for the economy overall.

A surge in holiday sales will mean most retailers actually hit their 4Q earnings - helping the market rebound just a tad in January. It doesn’t solve the growth = jobs problem, but it creates a glimmer of consumer confidence that would kick the year off right.

Spend wisely and spend often - we could all use the lift.
