(NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/saks-incorporated/sks/nys" target="_blank">JWN</a>) and Saks Inc. (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/saks-incorporated/sks/nys" target="_blank">SKS</a>) today. Shares of both of these upscale department-store chains are seeing red today following negative words from Wall Street. <br /><br />As Eric Buscemi <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/28/analyst-upgrades-downgrades-and-initiations-sndk-hot-cat-ho/" target="_blank">noted</a> this morning, JWN was cut to "underperform" from "neutral" at Banc of America/Merrill Lynch. Nordstrom was <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10506465/1/analysts-upgrades-downgrades-saks.html?cm_ven=GOOGLEN" target="_blank">also</a> sliced to "neutral" from "outperform" at Credit Suisse, citing valuation and concerns about the environment for mall anchors. Credit Suisse did maintain its price target of $22. <br /><br /><em></em><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/28/saks-sks-and-nordstrom-jwn-out-of-fashion-at-credit-suisse/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Saks (SKS) and Nordstrom (JWN) out of fashion at Credit Suisse </em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/28/saks-sks-and-nordstrom-jwn-out-of-fashion-at-credit-suisse/">Saks (SKS) and Nordstrom (JWN) out of fashion at Credit Suisse </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 28 May 2009 12:20:00 EST.

Punters sent shares up smartly on the news, over 4%. <br /><br />That same morning, we got the worst CCI numbers on record -- below the 30-point range.
