There was fog and rain. Drivers we talked with in Rockland County had similar experiences. Very slippery. Youve got to go slow.

In todays money report, get a gift card you didnt really want for the holidays . One popular retailer is prepared to help you out. Bill griffith joins us from cnbcs global head quart wers that and a look at the markets. Hi, bill. Hi, shiba. Yeah, this is more like it. Were getting the good old santa claus rally starting today. Traditionally we get strength in the stock market the week between christmas and new years. Yesterday we did not. Today we are. 156point gain on the Dow Jones Industrial average. Well see if this can continue into the new year. Yesterday i mentioned that we got a report on retail sales from mastercard that was very strong and shows gains among cards of 7. 9 between black friday and christmas eve. Now this morning we get another report not nearly as strong, maybe a little more nuanced. This is from the socalled Johnson Redbook index, which showed a gain last week of only 2. 5 among most retailers. This is one thats widely followed by wall street. You know, the National Retail federation says that maybe overall christmas sales were probably up 3. 5 this year. We wont get their report for a few more days. ll find out what the real number was coming up. So if you got one of those gift cards that everybody gets at christmas or hanukkah that you dont want or you dont like, target wants to help you out. What theyre going to do is take it off your hands for a fee and replace it with a target gift card. The discount retailer is teaming up with the Gift Card Exchange site cardpool with this offer. Theyll Exchange Gift cards from more than 600 other retailers if, for example, you get a 100 dont like, target gives you an 85 target gift card, and cardpool resells your old card. Presumably then everybody gets what they really want. To targets website if you want more information on how to exchange that old gift card there. I guess the keyword there, bill, would be retailer. You cant exchange a soul cycle or other exercise class. Probably not. Okay. Nice to know. Thank you, bill. All right. Our storm team 4 winter coverage continues right now.
