How Target has fallen...

[ExpertAtClosing]

When I started at Target 7 years ago, I bought shares in the company in my other job's retirement plan. I felt good about working there. The store was gorgeous. We all worked together. The company was thriving, and the store was #1 in our district. Shares kept going up. I bought more on dips. Ended up with a pretty good number of shares. Doubled my investment. But then, as my store started to stumble and the company seemed to start going downhill, I started selling off my holdings. After yesterday's news, with kind of a heavy heart, I sold my last 20 shares. I made my money, I guess it was time to go. Hopefully, the new CEO can right the ship.

No doubt the higher-ups will blame all their woes on social conservatives, black people, and any other group they managed to piss off when they thought it would be cute and trendy to come down heavily on one side of a complex, nuanced issue. Anything to dodge responsibility for refusing to provide causes for the results they demanded.
