Consumers will proceed with caution when it comes to spending this holiday season–especially on electronics. According to market research firm NPD Group, 61 percent of people taking part in its annual holiday survey say they’ll spend the same amount of money on gifts as last year, but five percent fewer are likely to spend it on electronics, videogames or DVDs.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
