The Easter effect is a reality. If you go on vacation later, you postpone your shopping.

Reality always bites, all you need to do is to make sure you're always tasty.

Before the Easter vacation there was short-covering in London as next Wednesday is also the settlement day there, so after the vacation there should be more stop-loss buying.

Look at the results of (Chico's) same-store sales. They keep posting incredible numbers year after year. Passport keeps growing and it gets people coming into stores.

They're just hitting on all cylinders.

I'm not surprised they had good results.. The stores were packed during the holidays and even on Dec. 26 when everyone else was having sales, Coach was selling full-price and the stores were full of people.
