Gas price per gallon is on the rise. Traditionally, gas rates tend to be lower during the holiday season but gas prices continued to rise over this past weekend. According to AAA, this was the first Christmas that the national average price of unleaded gasoline per gallon was more than three dollars. Triple A recently reported that the national average price for unleaded gasoline per gallon was $3.042. The rise in gasoline prices in America has a bit to do with a decrease in supply. By the end of November in America, the U.S. Department of Energy was reporting that gasoline inventories on the East Coast had fallen approximately 3 million barrels below the five-year average supply. In addition to this, increases in the price of crude oil is causing gasoline prices to rise. Last trade price for Light Crude Oil at close of yesterday’s market session reveals that February contract crude oil is up .54% and priced at $91.49 a barrel. Heating oil for February contract was in the green by .35% and priced at $2.54 a gallon. Unleaded gas for February delivery was down .37% and priced at $2.40 a gallon. The February contract for sweet crude oil on the CME Globex Exchange closed at $91.51 last week and this marks the first time that oil futures passed $90 since 2008. The trending with oil price has been moving upward since June but the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced that no changes are planned and that it will hold production steady.

I have been a fan of Walt Disney, Disneyland, and The Walt Disney Company (DIS) for many, many years, maybe since I was born. As a devotee (and fortunately a California resident), I have been to Disneyland numerous times, for birthdays, dates, high school graduation celebration, family vacations, etc. So I was very pleasantly surprised to receive as a gift the book The Disneyland Encyclopedia: The Unofficial, Unauthorized, and Unprecedented History of Every Land, Attraction, Restaurant, Shop, and Event in the Original Magic Kingdom by Chris Strodder. This book is by far the most complete reference on Disneyland ever, covering every attraction that ever existed, every store and shop that was ever set up in the Magic Kingdom, even every restroom right down to the bathroom signs. The book also includes write-ups on the people involved in the design and building of Disneyland. It also covers interesting trivia about some of the Disneyland secrets such as Club 33 and what the names on many of the Main Street windows represent. (Here’s a trivia question: where does the 33 come from for Club 33?) I especially enjoyed reading the sections on the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. If you like Disneyland and you like trivia, you will love The Disneyland Encyclopedia .

Top 10 Best-Performing U.S.-Listed Chinese Stocks Year-to-Date: SHZ, SPRD, FFHL, JOBS, BIDU, JNGW, CBP, MPEL, ZNH, SOL (Dec 29, 2010)
Though it has been a happy holiday for many retail stocks — sales data Tuesday confirmed retailers are on track for their best December in three years — one battered big box operator that can't seem to get it right is Sears Holdings (NYSE: SHLD ). The operator of Sears and Kmart stores says sales are projected to slide about -4% in the current quarter year-over-year. Poor sales have sparked an air of near-desperation at Sears and Kmart across 2010 – from testing Sears grocery delivery in urban markets to relinquishing its retail monopoly on the Craftsman brand via a partnership with ACE Hardware. Then there's its online Sears Marketplace that is meant to rival Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) with outside vendors selling wares on the site for a nominal fee. The latest ill- gambit from the once-dominant department store? An online movie download service. To those who think the criticism of Sears is a bit harsh, just look at the numbers. The parent company's collective revenue has dropped over -10% from 2005, the year the buyout of Kmart was executed, through its most recent fiscal year of 2009. Sales projections for fiscal 2010 are also grim, projected to slide -2.5% — and looking ahead for fiscal 2011 there's another -2% drop predicted by Wall Street experts. That pretty much tracks the average annual slide in sales since the 2005 merger with Kmart. Other retailers like Walmart (NYSE: WMT ) and Target (NYSE: TGT ), meanwhile, are posting gains in 2010 and looking optimistically at 2011. Looking at this dark trend, it's no surprise that Sears is trying to right the ship somehow. The company closed nearly 60 stores in a year's time amid the recession of 2009 and subsequent weak consumer spending. Now that costs have been cut, the only solution is to find new revenue streams. Enter Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC ), which has parterned with Sears on an online movie download service, Alphaline Entertainment . The service enables Sears and Kmart customers to buy digital copies of their favorite flicks the same day they are released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Sonic is allegedly working with Sears to bring the service to mobile device as well, a very profitable move that should happen sooner rather than later. However, the problem that Sears faces is not the launch of a new website but its already stale image and lack of relevancy with consumes. Folks who want to go to a cheap department store choose Walmart, not Kmart. Folks who want hardware and appliances forgo Sears and its flagship Craftsman and Kenmore brands for Home Depot (NYSE: HD ). And folks who shop online for movies are likely already loyal to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iTunes or Amazon.com. Sears has long been an iconic brand in America, but Wall Street is littered with names of companies that didn't stay relevant and didn't stick around. If Sears can't come up with something better than Alphaline downloads, it could suffer the same fate. Jeff Reeves is editor of InvestorPlace.com.
