Most discretionary retailers have broken out pretty much the same playbook of cutting back inventory, store growth and CapEx. JC Penney has, as well, but is nowhere near as back on their heels as their competition.

And to help us better understand what gives them the confidence going forward, we're pleased to host Chairman and CEO Mike Ullman. Mike Ullman - JCPenney Co. Inc - Chairman, CEO Thank you.
