May has not been kind to retailers. Adding to weak earnings results are multiple economic releases.
Same store sales are down 1.3 percent for the mid-may period, according to the ICSC-Goldman Sachs index. Despite stocks trading much higher than they were a year ago, retail sales are up just 2.4 percent. Economists were expecting more than three percent growth for the month, which is still a possible target.
