黑色星期五是美國最重要的購物日。 當天有便宜的大拍賣, 凸顯出美國消費者競爭又好強的一面。

因此, 黑色星期五曾經發生過暴力的衝突, 因為媒體在火上澆油, 不斷地報導黑色星期五, 以及解讀美國消費者的心態跟經濟的情況。

當然黑色星期五也對亞洲和依賴亞洲出口的國家特別重要。 如果美國不繼續買的話, 過幾個月, 我們在台灣不會有個好新年。

Black Friday is the most important shopping day of the year in the United States. Big bargains are to be had and the one-day extravaganza brings out the competitive spirit in American consumers.

So much so, that Black Fridays past have been marred by violence. Fuelling the hype are media that give relentless coverage to Black Friday in their efforts to discern the mood of the American consumer and, thus, economy.
Of course, Black Friday is enormously important to Asia and its export-dependent economies. If Americans don't keep buying, it won't be a good Lunar New Year for us just a few months later.
