Did you shop till you dropped?
The name for the Friday after Thanksgiving is a little confusing to me, “Black Friday” the biggest shopping day in the holiday season. I have always associated ‘black days’ with events such as ‘Black Monday, 19th October 1987’ when the world stock markets crashed. However, the black in Black Friday relates to the expectation for retailers to move business performance from the red into the black by the might of shopping activity on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Black Friday shopping may prove to be successful this holiday season, there has certainly been wall to wall coverage of the event on the TV today but any success for retailers today will not be on the back of $ spent by me, I did not ‘shop till I dropped’ today.

- David Carruthers MBA Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 15th September 1957, David's rise to prominence began in Penicuik, a small Scottish town on the outskirts of Edinburgh. A summer job, writing odds on an over-sized white board at Ladbroke Racing, at that time the UK & Ireland's largest off track licensed bookmaker, proved to be the catalyst to a hugely successful career, culminating in establishing himself as a leader in the international gaming industry.
