Fool Video: Retailers Wrecked by Housing?

5 Recommendations

Target (NYSE: TGT) recently warned of lower than expected same-store sales, while Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) suggested its full-year earnings would come in at the low end of expectations. What does the news mean for investors? Will the collapse of the housing market bleed into other areas? Can Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) and American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) remain immune to these effects? Will Home Depot (NYSE: HD) suffer next? In this installment of Fool Video, Motley Fool Online Managing Editor LouAnn DiCosmo talks retail stocks with Fool senior analyst Seth Jayson.
