Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jeremy Bowman]

  Retail stocks continued to take it on the chin as concerns about weak holiday sales persisted. Wal-Mart fell 1.2% to make it the Dow's worst performer, while Express (NYSE: EXPR  ) shares finished down 23% as the fashion label issued downbeat guidance in its quarterly report. Management lowered its full-year EPS outlook from $1.52-$1.60 to $1.46-$1.51, below the consensus as it sees an increasingly competitive promotional environment this holiday season. Management also said Thanksgiving week sales did not meet its expectations, and that same-store sales will be in the low single digits for the current quarter.
