    National Retail Federation reported absolutely abysmal numbers: sales during the four-day Thanksgiving holiday period crashed by a whopping 11% from $57.4 billion to $50.9 billion, confirming what everyone but the Fed knows by now: the US middle class is being obliterated, and that key driver of 70% of US economic growth is in the worst shape it has been since the Lehman collapse, courtesy of 6 years of Fed's ruinous central planning.

    Demonstrating the sad state of America's "economic dynamo", shoppers spent an average only $380.95, down 6.4% from $407.02 a year earlier.

    Online retail sales on Sunday were up 18 percent from a year earlier but amounted to the slowest growth pace so far in the intense holiday shopping period that started Thursday.

    Amazon.com, Inc.'s AMZN 0.16% sales Sunday grew 23.8 percent Sunday, the fastest pace of six "channels" tracked by ChannelAdvisor.

    The company is calling the period from Thanksgiving to December 1 the "Cyber Five Days," in a variation on the term Cyber Monday, coined in 2006 by the National Retail Federation.

    Amazon's growth pace slowed from 45.9 percent Saturday, according to ChannelAdvisor.

    With research figures showing only about 133 million people visited physical retail stores or purchased products via the Internet during the Thanksgiving holidays in 2014, down 5.2% from 2013, and overall sales dropped 11% on year to reach only US$50.9 billion during the period, component suppliers are concerned about their brand clients' estimated shipments for the end of 2014 as Black Friday sales were not as strong as originally expected.
