The dumbest thing I've read today

From here:

http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Target-40M-card-accounts-may-be-breached-5077661.php

about this:

Target: 40M card accounts may be breached

"This is how Target is getting more customers in the stores," said Brian Sozzi, CEO and Chief Equities Strategist. "It's telling people to use the card. It's been a big win. If they lose that trust, that person goes to Wal-Mart."


Ummm... no... Wal-Mart isn't even on the list of what this person even begins to think about doing! Using cash is the first thing. Followed by many other ideas. Wal-Mart doesn't even make the list!

Especially with coupons from the papers, their coupons that are directed specifically to my purchase history, and the Cartwheel App. However, I go in with a plan, save my $30 or $40 and pay cash at the Customer Service desk before I leave to pay it off. I've had the card since 2006 and I have never paid one dime in interest.
