"Shares of Williams-Sonoma (WSM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) dropped 11% Tuesday after the home-furnishings retailer lowered its fourth-quarter profit forecast following weak traffic at its stores.

The owner of the Williams-Sonoma, West Elm and Pottery Barn chains now anticipates profit of $1.11 to $1.14 a share for the quarter, down from its prior guidance of $1.19 to $1.25. The San Francisco-based company predicts revenue of $1.36 billion to $1.39 billion, compared with its previous view of $1.39 billion to $1.42 billion. "
