BLACK FRIDAY

It is claimed that this is one of the two largest retail day of the year. The other is the day after Christmas. Today is the largest selling day, and the 26th of December being the largest return day. On Thanksgiving day, the gas prices dropped to $3.07 per gallon, and now will continue to rise up to Christmas. I imagine it will go up to around $3.50 per gallon. This all happens with the price of crude oil staying the same and the refineries taking a holiday. The reason I bring this up is to show the gulability of the american people. We will listen to all the excuses for rising prices, and continue to buy. The longer we hold off on buying Christmas presents, the lower the prices will drop. Hold back on your travels and the gas prices will drop. Why do you think retailer drop prices on these days. 1) To get you into the stores 2) To get you to come back and play full retail, (you won't buy everything in one day). 3) What profit they lose out on black friday, they will gain back and more before Christmas. What profit the gas retailers lose on The holiday they will gain back. Black Friday is called that because of the wool pulled over your eyes.
