Frank, Black Friday is a reference to 'in the black' vs 'in the red'. The story goes that retailers operate the 1st 11 months of the year at a loss, and finally break even on Black Friday, making all their profits in the last 6 weeks of the year. Probably 25% of annual US retail sales are made during these weeks. Black Friday is a good reference. Regards, Bob S.
