Muir went down the list of money losing retail chains: Best Buy, Macy's, JCPenney, Dillard's. On NBC, Scott Cohn of the network's sibling financial news channel CNBC, added Starbucks and Barnes & Noble to the list.

Cohn quoted economist Diane Swonk as predicting a "BYOB potluck Christmas, a Secret Santa Christmas."
