Zero Percent!

GM is making a big push to increase sales before the end of the year. And the way they’re going to do it is with zero percent loans on their most popular SUV’s. That’s right, no interest for up to 60 months on 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazers, GMC Envoy and Saab 9-7X sport utility vehicles. This offer is also being offered on a few 2009 vehicles as well, but I’m nit sure which ones as of yet. And if your wondering or ask yourself how GMAC is able to do this, well very simply, your tax dollars. That’s right, just a week ago GMAC was given a bank holding company status, which made them qualify for government funding. And the amount of government funding they took was $5 billion. So now we want GMAC and other automakers to stay afloat, because if they fail we lose or money. You gotta love America; we do some crazy things hear.

Online Retailer!

This holiday season was great for online retailers. Instead of people running to the malls they stayed home. I reading that a few online retailers had double digit percent increase over last year. And shopping at the malls where down a few percent. So I would have to say that it wasn’t as bad as a lot of analysts thought it was going to be. And most of the online sales where for things like the Nintendo Wii game console and LCD HDTV’s. It seems that you can purchase just about anything online these days, even things like the Toshiba Satellite at Buy.com. The online retailer Buy.com offers a lot of goods at reasonable prices. If you purchased online this year I would be willing to bet that you will be doing it again soon. This holiday season there was a lot of first time online shoppers. And the main reason for them purchasing online was because they where looking for deals. And now that they found a new way to buy things they’re saying good-by to the malls.

What Deals!

I have been reading all over the Internet, and watching news reports that major retailers are offering huge discounts today. But when I started to look around in the newspaper and online the only deals are their left over Christmas stuff. I think retailers are really pushing fake deals. They run these ads thinking your going to get 50 percent to 75 percent off on toys, electronics and clothing. But once you get to the store everything is gone. That’s because they only had a few good things lying around and everything else is crap. And one of the big pushers of post holiday shopping is J.C. Penney, which opened at 5:30 a.m. I read that doorbusters until 1 p.m. Again, when you get their expect everything to be gone except maybe Christmas decorations, which might still be ok for next year if you have the money to spend. I also read that J.C. Penney is hurting for business that they offered a wake call to anyone that signed up online, what’s wrong with this world?
