Hmm, combo of crap, I'd guess. They try to load up on hot items for
xmas. But then they usually owe property / inventory tax on it Jan 1.
So they have to balance meeting holiday demand with not carrying excess
inventory. Plus they normally need to do a physical inventory and count
all the garbage. And, many people's budgets are exhausted from the xmas
spending, so Jan / Feb may be slow.
