The economic environment for the retail industry has been poor since mid-2000 for a variety of factors, such as higher energy costs and unemployment. Discount stores have been able to increase market share, but same-store sales have been lower at department store chains. These stocks are not timely in 2001 and have limited investment appeal for the next three to five years.
