  • You confuse risk with profit.

    Lots of risky investments turn out profitable.

  • The only ones who are going to make any money are those who buy into ESL Investments. Eddie is going to make money for his hedge fund regardless, the rest is a crap shoot.

  • Oldtireman,

    Lampert, ESL and RBS own common stock of Sears like all investors.

    What is going to happen is Lampert's hedge funds will dissolve into Sears Holdings which will be Lampert's only investment vehicle.

    Sears' books are better than JC Penny which is being run by a former Apple CEO.

  • How much of this stuff do you own? Why else the continual drumbeat of pumping this dog?

  • Not as much as Lampert he PERSONALLY owns over 22 million shares - that is personally and aside from his hedge funds holdings.

  • Answer the question.
    How much do YOU own?
    I think you are a pump and dumper.

  • I did trade the stock in the past but now I hold it as an investment and I am adding to my position on the dips. Lampert has a business plan and he is executing the plan perfectly he is doing what he said he was going to do under the circumstances.
    He is also going to buyback stock again for the company - Sears Holdings again.
    All that is needed is news that for instance Sears sells Sears Auto or merges with Autozone and you will have the largest short squeeze in the world coupling that with investors wanting the stock too for an investment.
    Lampert's life is in this stock.

  • Lampert can almost control Autozone completely.

    This news is imminent that something is up with Sears and Autozone.
    Diehard batteries sold at Autozone and installed in all Autonation cars something to that affect.

  • I was in a Sears yesterday. The Sears/Kmart mix strikes me as hopeless. Both stores are old and hideous. I realize businesses can be turned around and "bad" can be an opportunity. However, that kind of retail is not a growth business and Sears/KM are so old and tired and faded that it would be a monumental task to change the culture and light a fire.

    I don't know a thing about the books or the players but I do know about the stores. Rain Man was right.
