            When two major retailers announced plans to open stores at 4 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving, the media widely characterized it as the industry running scared about consumers' holiday-shopping appetite. It was nothing of the sort.

            Retailers have been moving up holiday-kickoff openings for years for one reason -- competitive advantage.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/five-signs-we-trash-talking-our/story.aspx?guid=%7B08E730CA%2D73E4%2D4C80%2DB664%2D00501FD85D26%7D">Friday's total sales rang in a blistering 8.3% higher than a year ago. Yet naysayers immediately turned the surprisingly good news into bad, attributing the rise to financially squeezed bargain hunters seizing on deals and predicting sales will slow sharply in the weeks ahead.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/five-signs-we-trash-talking-our/story.aspx?guid=%7B08E730CA%2D73E4%2D4C80%2DB664%2D00501FD85D26%7D">
            Illustrating the media's recent propensity for gloomy spin was a story in The New York Times, whose reporter threw objectivity to the wind in discounting the "huge crowds" he encountered at stores Friday by adding "but the mood was one more of desperation than of celebration." Oh, brother, let's just slit our wrists now to escape these bleak times.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1251DE3B-E11F-45E5-9126-ECAE2467DEA7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
