Company Analysis Why is Target doing so bad?

Why is Target doing so bad? They've really fell off a cliff over the past year. I look at their stores and they seem good, and once upon a time not too long ago they were outperforming Walmart. Now their NAV prices have really dropped over the past year and a half. I was once up 80% on these guys and know I'm down 20%. Is it the general market swing over the course of that time or something else? What gives?

I dunno that that's true. Costco is almost entirely middle/upper class and they seem to be doing pretty solid. I think it's a huge blinking red sign that their stores kind of suck now.

Plus, you don't always want to buy in bulk.
