Analysts forecast that last month's same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, will show a steep 2.4% decline, according to Thomson Reuters.
If the figures come in as expected, the monthly decline would mark the weakest same-store sales results ever registered since Thomson Reuters first started tracking the estimates in 2000.
Same-store sales rose 4% last November.
The firm tracks monthly sales for 34 of the nation's largest retailers including Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500), Target (TGT, Fortune 500), Gap (GPS, Fortune 500), and J.C. Penney (JCP, Fortune 500).
Although reports indicate that total Black Friday sales were stronger than expected this year, once the early-bird super discounts were exhausted, experts said consumers pared back significantly on their trips to the mall on Saturday and Sunday.

Black Friday was up 7.2% this year versus last year, but that the strong traffic on that day "did subside after Friday."
Traffic and sales tracker ShopperTrak reported that a 3% sales increase on Black Friday was followed by a 0.8% decline in sales on Saturday and a bigger 2.3% drop in Sunday's sales.
Excluding the impact of Wal-Mart, which many industry watchers expect will post a slightly improved gain over the same period last year, same-store sales are predicted to fall an even worse 6.9%, Thomson Reuters said.
Sales, minus Wal-Mart, rose 6% for the same period a year ago.

"It's become evident that the most notable threats to discretionary spending are unemployment, and the deteriorating credit and housing markets,"

Another same-store sales tracking firm, Retail Metrics, expects a 2% overall sales decline in November and a 6.3% drop excluding the impact of Wal-Mart.

Favorable weather, falling gas prices, increased refinance activity and deep discounts were overwhelmed by a parade of bleak economic news and plummeting retail earnings projections," Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics, wrote in a note Wednesday.

The November reporting period includes Black Friday, or the day after Thanksgiving which is the "unofficial" kickoff to the critical holiday shopping season, through the holiday weekend.

Combined sales for November and December can account for as much as 50% of merchants' annual profits and sales.

Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, lowered his holiday sales estimate Wednesday to a 3.5% decline from his earlier forecast for a 1% drop.

Other analysts are just as pessimistic that the one-day Black Friday sales rush won't save the season.

"Unfortunately, Black Friday bargains will not save November or the holiday season, in our opinion," she said.

He's one of the few industry experts who is forecasting a holiday sales increase - between 2.5 to 3% - this year.

Black Friday slowdown in both sales and traffic this past weekend, he's "very cautiously optimistic' about that estimate.
"Black Friday was not great. The overall weekend was not great," Johnson said. "Retailers really need to dig out of a hole." His worst case scenario is for a holiday sales decline of 1 to 2% if things get worse in the next five weeks.
For its part, the NRF is maintaining its forecast for a 2.2% holiday sales increase, which would be still be the slowest pace of gain in six years.

Following up Panda's answer:In 2004, cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, and colon/rectum accounted for more than half of all cancer deaths in the United States . Lung cancer alone claimed more than one-fourth of the lives lost to cancer. It was projected that in 2007 there would be 559,650 cancer deaths overall, including 160,390 deaths from lung cancer; 52,180 from cancers of the colon/rectum; 40,460 from female breast cancer; 33,370 deaths from cancer of the pancreas (replacing prostate cancer as the fourth leading cause) and 27,050 from prostate cancer.559,650 cancer deaths amounts to an average of 1533 deaths per day for 2007 in the USA. Note that about one fourth of those could have been prevented if people did not smoke cigarettes.

I think that is a lot of people dieing in the USA.
