Advisors' Opinion:

• [By David Goodloe]

  Kroger isnt in a position to challenge Wal-Mart yet, although that is what it appears to be positioning itself for. Currently, it is muscling its way past other contenders like Costco (COST) and Target (TGT).

• [By WWW.DAILYFINANCE.COM]

  Millions of emails a day are being sent to consumers around the country with confirmations of what appear to be online shopping orders but are really fakes tied to damaging! computer malware and other trickery. Because so many real order confirmations are flying into in-boxes, these phony emails aren't as obvious as they might otherwise be. And those behind the phony emails make them resemble those sent by legitimate retailers, including Target (TGT), Walmart (WMT), Best Buy (BBY), Home Depot (HD) and Costco (COST), according to security blogger Brian Krebs.

  I am afraid more people will fall victims to hackers this year than ever before.
