Please don't take anything I say seriously or as financial advice. As always, this is on opinion based basis. First off, for buying Macy's as a stock right now prior to the earnings call, there is no way I am doing that (even if it goes up). Given the dramatic hit that retail took, the earnings call is expected to not be so positive and the risk is too high. However afterwards, Macys does have potential for a long asset hold. The demand curve for retail is expected to go back up when everything is back to normal, and it took a hit from being $17 shy of few month ago.
