Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Early news reports in the USA are saying the London financial markets nosed dived today in the worse downturn ever.  This comes on the heels of a 4 percent drop in the Dow Jones Industrials last week alone.  Since today is a Federal Holiday in the US in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King the financial markets are closed.  Not sure what impact the London market fall will have on the US markets--have to wait to see.

What and how long will it take jaydee to realize that he needs to enter the low to middle price range vacuum market to stay competitive in the USA in the big box stores' venue?

Any news yet on the 2007 dyson sales?

Godfather.  Classic movie circa 1972.  Great pic, although Vito Don Corleone's face is overlayed, Sally Tessio, Clemenza, Fredo Corleone, Sonny Corleone, and Tom Hagen aka "Carminuc", after Carmine Ford Coppola.  Only family member missing is Lucca Brazzi, the Don's enforcer.  Getting ready for the sit down with the Turk, DiTagglia, one of heads of the 5 NY families who wants to branch out into narcotics and needs financing and police/legal protection from Don Vito.  Michael Corleone is absent too.  Not yet part of the family after getting out of the Marine Corps and fighting in WW11.    

Today's news: Blockbuster Video, with financing from Carl Icahn, is making a buyout bid for Circuit City, another struggling retailer.

Regis Philbin's favorite newspaper.  Good story.  Up close and personal. 

Bob DiNicola seems to have lost his management skills when it comes to LNT.

I hate to see American jobs lost, and presumably suppliers/vendors not paid or paid in full.        DIB

Kohl's having a one day sale, including floor care today.  Looks like its down sized the venue of vacuums to "affordable" low-mid range budget models.  Kohl's is not exactly a Wal*mart clone, more on the order of a TARGET.  Surprising to see dyson left out of the sale venue.  More surprising if you search on dyson vacuums only 3 models come up:  DC16, DC15, and DC21.   Looks like Kohl's is culling the high end dyson line up in favor of the less expensive makes and models, bagged and bagless.

Interesting?

Not a wide selectoion of dyson vacuums in the Kohl's venue these days.  Wonder what's happening with dyson and Kohl's?  DC15, 16, and 21.  Terrible choices.

Kohl's is one big sale every day.  Their discount is off the highest retail to be found.  The sale price is usually as high as or higher than a lot of retailers' daily price.

Of late, you're absolutely correct.  Kohl's is feeling the squeeze of the lack of consumer spending and its sales and sales supplements are coming more and more frequently.  What Kohl's offers, which apparently many consumers like, is the regular 10-20-30 percent off on all purchases for a given day.  With another 10 percent off the discounted price if you use a Kohl's credit card to charge the purchase.

Kohl's having another sale Saturday April 19.  Floor care too.  10-40 percent off

Dyson conspicously absent again.  Everything else on sale.  Sorry for the lengthy web site.  If you prefer go to the Kohl's Web Site and navigate through to floorcare.

Hey Carmine,

Here is how you make your own (blue) link.  It is relatively easy to do and easier for us readers to use too.  Simply clicking on hyperlinks (blue links) is the better way versus us readers copying and pasting the non-linked web address links into our URL address box in our browsers.

1.       Do this:  Type in your post something like - Click here or Go here for story, etc.

2.       Do this:  Highlight text highlight the phrase "Click here" and leave it highlighted, just like whey you highlight to copy and then paste in a word program.

3.       Your are going to need to achive this:  Now place a "hyperlink" (blue clickable link) pointed at or onto this highlighted (click here) text.  Here's how...

4.     Do this:  While text (Click here)  is highlighted, then click on the "world w/chain link" (aka insert/edit link) icon (a pop up window will open) and paste the address (dyson.com) you want folks to be taken to/linked to.  And click ok.  That's it.       

Posting pictures here at this forum are easy to do to.        DIB
