Is retail starting to make its comeback?

Consumers may be skittish with their spending of late, but that's not stopping retailers from keeping on the keepin' on. According to a report from RBC Capital Markets on Forbes.com, the retail business may be stabilizing. Analyst Rich Moore's July prediction of 64,925 new store openings in the next two years is a mere .02% below his May announcement of 65,000. That's a surprisingly positive sign when compared to his January prediction of 69,000 store openings, a January-to-May drop of 5.9%.
