Online Shoppers Set Records

[HardOCP News]

Holiday shopping this year is setting records, with both online sales and retails sales up almost 20 percent. Well what do you know, the naysayers and analyst were wrong (again). Whoddathunkit?

Online retail spending hit US$700 million on Monday, up 33 percent from last year, and $670 million on Tuesday, up 25 percent, the Web-monitoring company said. During the first 48 days of the holiday shopping season-- November 1 to December 18-- U.S. shoppers have spent almost $25 billion in online retail purchases, up 19 percent from the same period last year, according to comScore.

An analyst wrong? Wow, say it isn't so Joe

You can never believe anything those idiots say. I can guess at this stuff better than they can and I don't even get paid to do it.

A better study would be to see how much money was actually spent, and how much was borrowed (credit cards and holiday loans) to be spent.
