C = Catalyst for the Stock�� Movement

As most investors already know, Target mostly blamed the weather for its mixed to disappointing Q1 performance. In most cases, a company blaming the weather is absurd and nothing more than an excuse. If the weather is an issue, then�the company complaining should get�some products on the shelves that match the current environment. However, Target�� excuse is at least somewhat justifiable because the weather seemed to affect the majority of the industry opposed to just Target. Seasonal items such as gardening equipment and spring apparel didn�� sell as well as anticipated. High-priced electronics have also been performing poorly, but this has been more a long-term problem, and it�might serve as a warning sign that the consumer isn�� as strong as advertised, but that�� a story for another time.
