<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">St Louis Commercial Financing News</span>:</strong> <em>Retail Sales Up For Now</em></span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia</strong></span></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>The Commerce Department said total <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>retail sales</strong></span> rose 0.6 percent from the  previous month to $367.7 billion, compared with August&#8217;s upwardly  revised 0.7 percent jump.</p>
<p>Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had anticipated  that September sales would<span id="more-3925"></span> grow 0.4 percent.</p>
<p>Consumer spending accounts for  two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, and related reports such as retail  sales are closely watched to gauge the strength of the economy.</p>
<p>Sales  excluding autos and auto parts rose by 0.4 percent from August. Analysts  expected sales ex-autos to jump 0.4 percent.</p>
<p>Strength in auto, electronics and  online sales paced the September incline.</p>
<p>Auto and other motor vehicle  dealers sales were up 1.6 percent over August and 19 percent over a year earlier.</p>
<p>Electronics stores reported a 1.5 percent increase over August, while online  stores ticked up by 1 percent .</p>
<p>In a separate report released last week, individual retailers reported  strong sales results for September.</p>
<p>Thomson Reuters, which tracks  same-store sales for a group of 28 national chains, said total sales for  the group rose 2.8 percent in September.</p>
<p>An important gauge of a retailer&#8217;s  health, same-store sales have been on the rise for 13 months in a row,  according to Thomson Reuters.</p>

St Louis Mortgage and Real Estate News –</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">St Louis Finance News</span>:</strong> <em> Sales Are Reportedly Up In the Retail Industry </em></span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><br />
News Press Hot Line: 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>Recent news from the Commerce Department states that total retail sales rose 0.4 percent to $362.7 billion compared with June&#8217;s 0.3 percent decrease. The June drop<span id="more-3122"></span> was revised from the originally reported 0.5 percent.</p>
<p>The overall sales percentage gain was slightly lower than anticipated. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had expected sales would rise by 0.5 percent during the month.</p>
<p>Since consumer spending accounts for nearly two-thirds of the United States economic activity, it only makes sense that <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>retail sales</strong></span> and related reports are closely monitored to gauge the health of the economy.</p>
<p>Sales excluding autos and auto parts rose 0.2 percent last month, in line with economists&#8217; forecasts. In June, sales on the same basis were down 0.1 percent.</p>
<p>Motor vehicle and parts sales also rose 1.6 percent in the month, and gasoline store sales rose 2.3 percent.  Overall, retail sales are up 5.5 percent over July last year.</p>

St Louis Mortgage and Real Estate News –</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">St Louis Home Mortgage News</span>:</strong> <em>Second Month In A Row Retail Sales Down</em></span> <span style="color: #333333;"><strong>[News Hot Line:  314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia]</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>Nationwide <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>retail sales</strong></span> fell almost $360 billion or 0.5 percent in June 2010 according to the Commerce Department which was compared with May&#8217;s upwardly revised 1.1 percent  decrease.</p>
<p>Many economists who were surveyed<span id="more-2844"></span> by Briefing.com originally thought that sales would  slip by only 0.2 percent during June.</p>
<p>The industry that led this worse than expected slump were autos.  Motor vehicle and parts sales dropped a whopping 2.3 percent providing nearly half of the losses during  the month.</p>
<p>This is compared to the 0.1 percent drop in the automotive industry in sales which excluded autos and auto parts.</p>
<p>Once again, economists had projected these sales to hold steady in  June.</p>
<p>Looking at other industries, sales at gasoline stations fell about 2 percent.  Furniture sales dropped for a  third month in a row.</p>
<p>Building material sales fell once again for a second straight  month which may be linked to the downward trend in the housing activity  naturally following the expiration of the home buyer tax credit.</p>
<p>However, all was not falling as electronic and appliance stores sales rose 1.3 percent during June probably being helped by  the release of new products such as Apple&#8217;s iPhone 4.</p>
<p>Overall, retail sales were up almost 4.8 percent over this same period back in 2009.</p>

St Louis Mortgage Refinancing and Real Estate News –</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">News</span>:</strong></span> <em>Bernanke Says America Has Difficult Choices Ahead</em></p>
<p>With the economy in shambles, the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, has warned that the United States will  face difficult choices over the next couple of years<span id="more-1970"></span> as it moves forward in addressing its debt burden.</p>
<p>As he formally addressed the congressional Joint Economic Committee, Bernanke  remarked that:  <em>&#8220;Addressing the country&#8217;s fiscal problems will require  difficult choices, but postponing them will only make them more  difficult.”</em></p>
<p>He added that <em>“significant restraints on the pace of the  recovery remain, including weakness in both residential and  non-residential construction and the poor fiscal condition of many  states and local governments.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Looking at the retail market, sales were up by 1.6 percent in March.  Yet, Bernanke  as well as the <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>St Louis lending</strong></span> community continues to remain  cautious about any type of quick recovery.</p>
<p><span style="color: #666699;"><strong>Retail sales</strong></span> have shown an improvement during the first quarter of 2010.</p>
<p>Sad to say that some of this upsurge has been accredited to many consumers taking their mortgage payments and fraudulently using it to purchase frivolous items instead of paying their<span style="color: #666699;"><strong> St Louis home loan.</strong></span></p>
<p>And although the rate of new job losses is slowing, there is no optimistic sign of  employers offering new job vacancies.</p>
<p>An incredible 44 percent of the <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>unemployed</strong></span> have been without  work for more than 6 months.</p>
<p>Long-term <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>unemployment</strong></span> is believed to be a  more stubborn and insoluble problem to cure especially since the unemployed themselves become  disillusioned and their skills become somewhat rusty or spotty.</p>
<p>The level of  unemployment in the United States is hovering around the 10 percent mark.</p>
<p>Approximately 8.5 million  jobs have been lost as a result of the global <span style="color: #666699;"><strong>recession.</strong></span></p>
<p>And economists have said it would take 200,000 new jobs per month for the next 7 years to get back to where we were before this economic collapse took place.</p>
