Retailers usually get a lift the days right before and after Christmas. But severe weather and economic head winds kept consumers away. Same-store sales for the week ending Dec. 27 slid 1.8% vs. a year ago, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs index. Overall, December same-store sales will fall 1%, forecasts Michael Niemira, ICSC’s chief economist. He expects total holiday same-store sales to fall 1.5%-2% vs. a year ago. That would be the worst since 1970. “This holiday season was negatively impacted by the recession, the escalating unemployment rate andtheweakeningconsumerconfidence accentuated by the financial crisis,” said Niemira. “As a whole, it prompted retailers to increase their discounting, which further added to the woes to the industry.” Analysts expect retailers’ fourthquarter profits to slide 19.1% vs. a year ago, the worst on record, said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics. It would mark the seventh straight negative quarter. “The fallout from the holiday season exacerbates the situation at the retail level and shopping center level,” said Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Davidowitz & Associates, a retail consulting firm. “It’s another nail in the coffin, lead- 0 -2 ’01 ’02 ’03 ’04 ’05 ’06 ’07 ’08e Source: International Council of Shopping Centers ing to massive bankruptcies, store closings,problemsinshoppingcenters and problems with suppliers.” AlixPartners, a turnaround consulting firm, predicts 26% of 182 retailers with over $500 million in sales have a high risk factor for financial distress or bankruptcy over the coming 24 months. “If we get away from the pure discounters like Wal-MartWMT, no one is immune, and I expect to see a broad range of retailers filing,” said Lawrence Gottlieb, head of the bankruptcy and restructuring practice at the law firm of Cooley Godward Kronish. There’s no sign of a credit thaw by early 2009, he says. “Those retailers who had a terrible Christmas can expect to have great difficulty having banks lend them more money because of the credit freeze,” he said. “And if they need to file, they can expect very little help from the banks.” Amex Tables ...............B9 Big Picture ....................B1 Commodity Futures .B10 Company Index ..........A2 Credit Market ............B11 Dividends News ..........A9 Earnings News ...........A9 Economic News...........A2 Editorials ..................A10 ExchangeTraded Funds ...A9 General Market............B2 Industry Groups...........B2 Internet & Technology A4 Investor Education ....B12 Investor's Corner .......B12 Issues & Insights ......A10 Leaders & Success .....A3 Low Price Stocks .........B9 Mutual Funds .............A7 Nasdaq Charts .............B6 New America...............A6 New Highs & Lows ......B8 New Issues .................A6 NYSE Charts .................B4 Option Tables ...........A12 REITs ............................B9 Research Tables ..........B3 To The Point ................A2 World News Briefs .....A2 ADVERTISING Nat'l Bus.

Meanwhile, home prices continue to fall, with the Case-Shiller index hitting March 2004 levels. The 20-city index is off 23.4% from its July 2006 peak. Prices in Phoenix, Las Vegas and San Francisco plunged more than 30% in October from a year ago. Sharp price declines and historically low mortgage rates have so far failed to lure potential buyers worried about job losses. The unemployment rate rose to a 15-year high of 6.7% in November and it’s expected to climb further. The Conference Board’s current conditionsindex dived toa 16-year low of 29.4 in December from 42.3 in November as job losses and fears easily offset lower gas prices. The outlook gauge fell 2.4 points to 43.8 in December. Consumers who said jobs are “hard to get” rose to 42% in December from 37.1% in November. Those claiming jobs are “plentiful” decreased to 6.2% from 8.7%. Blagojevich Senate Pick Sets Off Capitol Hill Standoff Senate Dems: We’ll Reject Accused of trying to sell Senate seat, gov. defies Dem caucus with move BY SEAN HIGGINS CONTENTS U.S.-Afghan Supply Route Shut Worst Since 1970 Nov.-Dec. holiday same-store sales, yearly change 4% Davidowitz expects retail bankruptcies to differ from those of the past, where stores filed under Chapter 11 and reorganized. “In the new world they’ll file Chapter 11 and liquidate,” he said. He says so far this year there have been 30 retail liquidations, including Linens ’n Things and Mervyn’s department store chain. Home retailers are the most vulnerable, Davidowitz said. Home decor chain Pier 1 ImportsPIR has shut 600 stores and may not survive, he says. Ethan AllenETH furniture chain is another ailing retailer. Department stores, which sell discretionary items, clothes and home goods, are next. He says SearsSHLD, SaksSKS and Dillard’sDDS are among those doing poorly. Apparel chains like Chico’sCHS and Charming ShoppesCHRS are struggling too. The high pace of store closings due to bankruptcy or other reasonsshouldcontinue,but notaccelerate in 2009, says Niemira. That’s because the industry already slashed stores this year. He pegs 2008 store closings at about 150,000, the highest since the 2001 recession. Defaults will climb in 2009, says Edward Henderson,vice president and senior analyst at Moody’s. In terms of financing, most retailers still have credit lines in place. Still, a lot of retailers have assetbased lending facilities. Banks could make it hard for them to finance their spring inventory. Home prices plunged by the most on record in October and consumer confidence unexpectedly dived toan all-time low inDecember, according to separate reports on Tuesday, suggesting that a yearlong recession has yet to bottom. Meanwhile, a gauge of Midwest factory activity remained weak in December, though readings on new orders and jobs rose. The Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller 20-city home price index fell by a record 18% in October vs. a year earlier, the biggest drop since records began in 2000. The 10-city index tumbled 19.1%, the most in its 21-year history. Falling home and stock values, tight credit and rising unemployment have put Americans in a gloomy mood. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index sank 6.7 points in December to 38, the lowest since records began in 1969. Economists had expected a slight increase to 45.5. The latest retail estimates suggest that this is the worst holiday shopping season since at least 1970. (See related story on this page). “We’re going to have some exceptionally weak data in the fourth quarter in terms of GDP, and the first quarter is likely to be very weak as well,” said Keith Hembre, chief economist at First American Funds. The economy will likely contract at anannual rateof5%, 6% or more in the fourth quarter after shrinking at a 0.5% pace in the third. Yetstocksrose aftertheTreasury saiditwillgive$5billion toGMAC, GM’sGM troubled finance arm. The Dow climbed 2.2%, the S&P 500 2.4% and the Nasdaq 2.7%. Falling energy prices, low mortgage rates and aggressive Federal Reserve action to ease the credit crunch could help the economy to recover in the second half of next year. But much depends on a huge government stimulus package expected early next year. “We are expecting to see the re- cession bottom out by mid-year 2009 and conditions start to slowly improve by the end of the year,” said Robert Dye, an economist at PNC Financial. TheMidwest purchasing managers index edged up to 34.1 in December from November’s 26-year low of 33.8, a “negligible” increase, the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago said. Readings below 50 signal contraction. The prices paid index plunged to a record low. INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Senate Democratic leaders said Tuesday that they would not allow Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s choice of Roland Burris, a former state attorney general, to fill the Senate vacancy left by Presidentelect Obama. Blagojevich,alsoaDemocrat,was unfazed and said in a press conference shortly after the Senate Democrats’ announcement that he would continue to push for Burris. The scandal-tainted governor’s defiancecreatesanunprecedented political standoff that could leave the Senate seat in limbo, eroding Democrats’ Capitol Hill edge. The showdown could also have a racial tinge. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., appeared at the press conference and repeatedly said Bur- ris would be the Senate’s only African-American. Rush openly dared Senate Democrats to reject Burris. Without an Illinois replacement, the Democrats will have just 57 seats in the Senate next year. A recount is under way for a Minnesota seat. That leaves them three short of the number needed to stop GOP-led filibusters. Ordinarily, governors fill vacant Senate seats by appointment to serve out the term or until a special election. Thatprocesswasthrownintoturmoilwhen Blagojevich was caught in wiretapped conversations tryingto sell theseat, prosecutors say. Blagojevich was formally arrested by federal agents on Dec. 9. He has denied the charges. Thedayafterhis arrest,theentire Senate Democratic caucus signed a letter urging Blagojevich to “step down and under no circumstance make an appointment to fill the vacantIllinois Senate seat.” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called Blagojevich’s decision “truly regrettable” in a Tuesday statement. “Anyone appointed by Gov. Blagojevich cannot be an effective representative of the people of Illinois and, as we have said, will not be seated by the Democratic Caucus,” he said. Blagojevich brushed Reid’s announcement aside. “I am absolutely confident and certain that the United States Senate is going to seat a man of Roland Burris’unquestioned integrity, extensive experience and his long history of public service,” he told reporters. “Please don’t allow the allegations against me to taint this good and honest man.” Burris, 71, has had a long career in state politics. Before serving as attorney general from 1991 to ’95, he was elected as state comptroller in 1978. He was the first African-American to win statewide office in Illinois. He said he was happy to accept the appointment and urged the Senate not to leave the seat vacant. “It is incomprehensible that the people of the great state of Illinois willenter the 111thCongress shorthanded,” Burris said. Burris said he would examine his options, including legal ones, if the Senate refused to seat him. Rushsaid he wouldurge the Congressional Black Caucus to pressure the Senate Democrats. “There are no African-Americans in the Senate, and I don’t see anyone— any U.S. senator— wanting to go on record to deny one African-American from being seated,” he said. The Constitution gives the Senate the right to judge the qualifications of its members, and there are precedents for rejecting a person. The Senate Democrats’ letter indicates they would use them. AmericanEnterprise Instituteresearch fellow John Fortier says the precedents are no longer valid. “The Supreme Court ruled (in 1969) that the Senate and the House are the judge of the qualifications for their members but that they cannot add new qualifications,” Fortier said. The only valid qualifications are minimum age and residency. “It is the state’s appointment. It is not the Senate’s,” Fortier said.
