well, that�s why shares are usually only sold on a schedule and when you see suspicious looking trades it�s almost always due to a scheduled sell.

that�s like the easiest thing to prove

I would assume if it was provable in this case, there wouldn't be charges, but instead a finished investigation.

death of retail, cont'd

Toys R Us to close all 800 of its U.S. stores

Toy store chain Toys R Us is planning to sell or close all 800 of its U.S. stores, affecting as many as 33,000 jobs as the company winds down its operations after six decades, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The news comes six months after the retailer filed for bankruptcy. The company has struggled to pay down nearly $8 billion in debt � much of it dating back to a 2005 leveraged buyout � and has had trouble finding a buyer. There were reports earlier this week that Toys R Us had stopped paying its suppliers, which include the country�s largest toy makers. On Wednesday, the company announced it would close all 100 of its U.K. stores. In the United States, the company told employees closures would likely occur over time, and not all at once, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.

Toys R Us, once the country�s preeminent toy retailer, has been unable to keep up with big-box and online competitors. The recent holiday season dealt another blow to the embattled company, which struggled to find its footing even as the retail industry racked up its largest gains in years. In January, the retailer announced it would close 182 U.S. stores, or about one-fifth of its remaining Toys R Us and Babies R Us locations.

33k jobs, ouch. all hail the trump economy

geoffrey the giraffe could not be reached for comment. he was reportedly looking for a ceiling beam or tree branch high up enough to hang himself from

e: from the end of the article

quote:

�We know that customers are willing to pay more for an enjoyable experience � just look at the lines at Starbucks every day � but Toys R Us has failed to give us anything special or unique,� Kelly O�Keefe, a professor of brand management at Virginia Commonwealth University, told The Post earlier this year. �You can find more zest for life in a Walgreens.�

all i can say about that last comment is - nice!

and i suspect tru's troubles had more to do with $8bn in unserviceable debt from a botched lbo a decade ago than a failure to provide sufficient zest for life, but branding experts gotta brand i guess
