July 29, 2010 - 09:36:23 AM

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA--(Marketwire - July 29, 2010) - www.stockcall.com/ offers investors comprehensive research on the catalog & mail order houses industry and has completed analytical research on eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN). Register with us today at www.stockcall.com/ to have free access to these researches.

Despite a decline in June, the retail industry remains the second largest in the U.S., reporting sales of $360 billion. An increasingly important part of this is represented by the Catalogue and Mail Order Houses. Although catalogue sales have been present since 1872, it is e-commerce that has made them an integral player today. E-commerce is growing bigger every year and now embodies approximately 2.7 percent of all U.S. retail. Quarterly earnings reports being released this month show mixed results. Highs are related to innovative new products and lows to an unfavourably strong dollar as well as the drop in overall retail, pointing to what could be a double-dip recession. Amazon.com, the e-commerce leader, reported quarterly results last week with great sales figures but still managed to see its share price go down by over 13% on the day of the release. The e-commerce company had missed Wall Street earnings forecast. Investors looking for free research on Amazon.com Inc. are welcome to sign up at www.stockcall.com/AMZN290710.pdf for our new report.

Global expansion is a priority in the industry. With countries such as China and India developing better internet connection, it is paramount for the industry to be on top of multinational markets.

Troubling to this industry are recently introduced bills which could be costly and restrictive. The first is Delahunt's proposal for state sales tax to be charged on internet sales. This has been under debate for a number of years but with states in need of revenue it is finding more support this time around. The second is a new privacy bill which could leave businesses vulnerable to hefty fines and slow down sales with lengthy and complex regulations.
