How, as explained to me in childhood. Black Friday is when shops are expecting to go in the BLACK. Many stores would run through the year reporting positive (red) earnings, but the massives spending would put their ledgers in BLACK (positive territory)

It is like saying ‘Profits Friday’ but was more catchy.

Come on old profits charts! Red ink from the printing press was used for debt, black ink was used for profit. In the printing press saw white characters, white ink from black, silver and blue. If I can get into the black, the better I will be and

make a decision.
