		<description>Anthony, good information to know. Amazon/Apple/Wal-Mart reported 6-10% increase in their revenues as the &quot;exceptions.&quot; Most Brick and Mortar stores took a massive hit, especially with a 26% decrease in appliance/electronic sales and 23% in Women&#039;s apparel (whoa!). (Source ABC). I noticed online purchasing has been growing quickly as well. We hit a record 300% year over year in revenue increase. Seems like all the weaker retail stores are going to be eliminated soon! Cheers,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Albert K.</description>
