Target Corporation |
It seems like you are instilling your emotions into this stock. I'm
not a psychologist, but, this can be seen as a defense mechanism--
making one believe and cope with the current weak conditions at
target.
You wrote a thesis and you didn't mention the most important factors
why TGT has been down lately:
1. Cannot find a buyer for their credit card division. TGT blames
"market conditions" but in actuality, there is no investment bank that
will buy TGT's credit division due mainly to the ongoing credit
crunch. Do some research, its everywhere.
2. The share buyback program has halted. Let's ask why? Share price
has not reached TGT's comfort zone to commence with their buyback
program.
3. Current Sales have been revised multiple times and all the
revision has been negative; + - 1% sales forecast from last year.
This is a very weak sales threshold.
4. Home furnishings which is TGT's main revenue driver has been
decreasing and will decrease further in the months
ahead...why?...because of lacking consumer spending and more
importantly an ongoing housing recession. With lower sales in the new
housing market, this is a big negative for TGT's stock price.
TGT will fall further and do not fool yourself because you have
"experienced first hand" the dynamics and ambience at TGT. It's also
wiser to provide figures to support an argument.
People lie, numbers don't.
