Groups That Are Heating Up Retail/Stores/Discount {.RDI} and Retail/Stores/Mail Order-Catalogs {.RMC} were both showing upward momentum heading into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and early signs suggest that this trend was warranted. Preliminary reports out of retailers and TeleCheck Services show that business was stronger than expected. Wal-Mart {WMT} generated over $1.25 billion in revenues on Friday, a record for the company, while TeleCheck is suggesting that same-store sales for U.S. retailers increased 2.4 percent over the same day a year ago. Internet retailers also saw strong sales volume; the Wall Street Journal reported this morning that revenues on Saturday were over 50 percent higher than on the past several Saturdays. Should the holiday shopping season continue to be stronger than expected, stock such as Tuesday Morning {TUES}, K-Mart {KM}, Williams-Sonoma {WSM}, Dollar Tree Stores {DLTR} and Lands End {LE} could add onto their recent price gains. The resurgence of Computer/Computer Services {.DSE}, a group that has increased in rank for seven consecutive weeks, has attracted investors back to foreign-owned tech firms such as Wipro Ltd. {WIT}, Satyam Computer Services {SAY}, and Terra Networks {TRLY} - the owner of web portal Lycos. WIT and SAY have been rising on optimism that their entry into Singapore will help to offset declining profits caused by the weak U.S. economy. Both companies have better cost structures than their Singapore rivals and therefore are using price cuts to win business. TRLY rose on news that it is instituting mandatory time off for most of its Lycos employees between Christmas and New Year's as a cost-saving measure. Employees will be required to either use vacation time or take unpaid leave for that period. Other groups with rising rankings include Broadcasting/Programming {.BPE}, Computer/Peripherals {.DPE}, Electronics/Office Equipment {.OFF}, Finance/Leasing {.FLE}, Retail/Stores/Department {.RDE}, and Transport/Cargo-Charter {.ACC}.

Groups That Are Cooling Off Food/Serving/Fast Foods {.FFF} extended its streak of declining rank to six consecutive weeks. Notably, Pappa Johns {PZZA}, Tricon Global {YUM}, and McDonald's {MCD} all charted notable losses on November 19, despite a lack of news. The general malaise that is affecting the group most likely stems from a shift in posture among investors from lower valuation/defensive stocks to higher valuation/high growth stocks. Other groups with declining rankings include Basic/Uranium {.MUR}, Building/Brick-Cement {.BBC}, Home/Furnishings {.HOM}, and Machinery/Specialties {.MSP}.

On The Radar Screen This Week Retail/Stores/Department {.RDE} should be interesting to watch this week. The group's rank has increased for four consecutive weeks, but may be at risk of reversing back downward. The reason for this is that early data about weekend shopping indicates that traffic at department stores in general was weak and that same store sales fell. Such a decline is not surprising, however, given consumers' preference for bargains and lingering fears about a potential terrorist strikes aimed at one or more shopping malls.
