[Screen Shot 2016 05 13 at 1.56.04 PM] Stocks were at the weakest levels of the session in the afternoon trading on Friday. Near 1:56 p.m. ET, the Dow was down 142 points (0.81%), the S&P 500 was down 13 points (0.66%), and the Nasdaq was down 15 points (0.34%.) Energy and financials were the sectors with the biggest losses. Tech was flat and the best performer. Walmart shares fell the most on the index, by 2.4%. The retailer reports earnings in the fourthcoming week alongside others. The past week has been ugly for retail earnings, particularly in the apparel space. Earlier Friday, we heard from JC Penney, which missed sales projections and cut its forecasts for the year. Its shares fell 10% but were down just about 3% in afternoon trading. Overall retail sales were solid last month, as the Census Bureau's data showed a 1.3% climb in April, the biggest in a year, led by strong sales of cars and gasoline. In other economic data, consumer confidence via the University of Michigan's preliminary sentiment index was stronger than expected for May. The index came in at 95.8, up from 89 in April. And, the producer price index came in less than expected, at 0.2% for April.

[JC Penney retail shopping]JC Penney is staging one heck of a comeback. After the stock tanked more than 10% in pre-market trading Friday, shares of the retailers have now gone into positive territory. As of 11:33 a.m. ET, JP Penney was trading up a little over 1% at $7.89 a share. The company reported disappointing sales Friday morning, generating $2.81 billion, just shy of the projected $2.92 billion. Comparable store sales also declined -0.4% against analyst expectations of a 3.3% increase. In addition, the retailer slashed its projections for the year. JC Penney cut its outlook for gross margins to an increase of only 0.1% to 0.3% from the original projection of 0.4% to 0.6%. "While our first quarter sales were below our expectations, we are maintaining our annual comp guidance of 3% to 4% as a result of the positive nature of our recent sales trends, the strength of our Sephora business and our decision to accelerate our appliance rollout," said CEO Marvin Ellison in a press release accompanying earnings. On the bright side, the company posted a loss of -$0.22 per share against analyst expectations of -$0.30 a share.

The gap between traditional brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers is clear. A Commerce Department report Friday showed total US retail sales jumped 1.3% month-on-month in April. And apart from car dealers and gas stations, there was another clear winner: online retailers. The report showed that non-store retail sales — at places like Amazon and eBay — rose 2.1% in April from March. At the same time, department-store sales (excluding leased departments) rose 0.3%. But the year-over-year trend showed an even bigger outperformance gap. Online retail sales were up 10.2%, the most among major categories in the retail sales report. Earlier this week, earnings results from some major department stores illustrated why they are straggling. Take Macy's for example, which said weak consumer spending and slow international sales were reasons for its underperformance. Or Kohl's, which said it had to offer discounts deep enough to clear excess inventories. "Clearly they've got to get more competitive in terms of their online offerings," said Mark Heppenstall, chief investment officer at Penn Mutual Asset Management, which oversees $20 billion in assets. "The convenience factor is a big driver of the way consumers are spending today, and the entire experience of going to the mall just seems as though it's becoming less part of the American lifestyle, particularly for the younger generation — the millennials," he told Business Insider. Stuart Hoffman, PNC chief economist, said in a note that the weak earnings from retailers do not reflect poorly on consumer spending, but rather show a shift in buying to online. This chart shows the three-month moving average of department-store and non-store sales growth or decline. Since January 2009, department-store sales have fallen 61% of the time month-on-month, versus 28% of the time for online shops.

[tom brady]Mike Ehrmann/Getty At age 38, Tom Brady just put together one of the most efficient seasons of his career. Brady's incredible 2015 stood in stark contrast to his other older quarterback peers, like Peyton Manning, whose bodies had clearly betrayed them. Brady has structured his life in a way that allows him keep playing football at an age when everyone else retires. He goes to sleep at 8:30, he doesn't party, and he has a strict diet, which he details in his new $200 "nutrition manual." Brady spoke to GQ's Andrew Goble about the book, and explained his biggest secret to maintaining his body to stay on the field. "The biggest issue is muscle pliability," Brady said. "That’s what I think the biggest secret to me is." As Brady explained, muscle pliability is keeping muscles soft and long. It stands in contrast to lifting heavy weights, which shortens the muscles and makes them denser. Brady then went into a long, rambling answer about why he views this as such an important part of his routine and his longevity. We do so many exercises in the gym through all our strength training that make our muscles short and dense. So now you get up and you’re doing all these active things where you’re running and cutting, and you're asking these muscles to expand and contract. Well, you basically taught your muscles just to stay contracted. ... There’s a lot of components to every muscle function, to every type of exercise that you do. For me, I focus on dropping and throwing. That’s what my job is. For a runner, you’re going to need to be incredibly biomechanically efficient and balanced in order to run that 5K, and if something is out of balance, you’re going to need to get it back in balance. And the only way traditional physical therapy does it, they think that muscle soreness is muscle weakness. So they take muscle soreness and they go, well, it must be weak. Let’s do more strengthening. My point is, it’s not weak, it’s actually working too hard. We need to lengthen it and soften it, so that the other muscles can work, too. Brady continued, saying that when an athlete then tries to go out and perform, their muscles are essentially confused and unable to expand and contract as needed. Brady said this tricks an athlete's brain into trying to compensate by "going to recruit fibers" from other parts of the body, thus weakening those parts and throwing the system off-balance. Brady told Goble that this type of understanding of the body is what pushed him to publish his nutritional manual. Watching Brady play football is not like watching, say, Cam Newton. Brady's arm is not the strongest, and he's certainly not the quickest when it comes to scrambling. He isn't built like a Greek God. But his longevity and health can't be argued with, so clearly Brady is onto something. NOW WATCH: STEPH CURRY: Inside the spectacular life of the the NBA’s first unanimous MVP
