The day after Christmas is the New Black (Friday)

[elfs]

In February, Border's Books was trading for about $10 a share. As December rolled around, Border's stock price had collapsed to $1 a share, and as of Christmas the stock had fallen to less than half that, closing Christmas Eve at $0.38 per share.

Ouch.

Some people think Borders will survive until February; there are others expecting a fire sale sometime in the next week or so.

I wonder if now is the time to grab all the Java, Wikimedia, and DHTML books I've been holding off on purchasing.

US News and World Report says that Christmas sales were so bad, post-Christmas sales promise to have the deepest cuts in history. I'm not a big fan of shopping, and I sorta doubt sex toys will be on sale, but maybe I'll brave the weather and head out to see what I can find in the coming week.

Is this online or at their stores?

Apparently online. I noticed this little line:

use promo code SAD5671A at Borders.com

I just tried to use this code, and it gave a 20% discount rather than 75%.

Another IT error that's since been corrected, perhaps?
