Well the changes in retailing over the past 5 years have been faster than anything over the 25 years prior to that. The good companies are trying to retail AND dipping their toes into the on-line selling too, and they need to have stock if you sell on line otherwise you will get awful feedback. Not easy though and I guess that we will see some large retailers going bump this year, I predict.
