A partialy bad omen


The retailer cut its year end earnings forecast amid slack sales and losses from last year's data breach
 Target Corporation lowered its year end earnings forecast on Wednesday as the ailing retailer posted a 62% drop in second quarter profits.

Some of this was a one time loss from the theft of customer account info.  Some was slack sales and flat same store sales.  Mostly bad news and retail is a bell weather for the economy..
