    Restoration Hardware Class Action Payout Still Leaves Shareholders Short [view article]
    What else is new? I never liked Friedman.

    "However RSTO is NOT an investor friendly company and comes with a ‘high risk’ warning label."
    See article from 03/2007:

    More than warn SA readers about the person/people at the helm, there is nothing I can do. Sorry to hear that you had to learn the hard way.

    MICROSOFT better raise their bid for Yahoo quickly. A great speculation and move by Yahoo would be to have Softbank and llibba team up and buy out the rest of Yahoo at between 45 to 50 dollars a share. It would be investing in themselves where their mix i products would fit in better and stronger then a merger with Microsoft. Their close contacts with the Chinese and Japan governments would blend very easily with no anti trust problems for Yahoo. Combining the three into one and when completed make an offer for NTT of Japan and become one of the biggest power houses in wireless and internet media add content. The merger of the three will also save jobs because their would be less over lapping of product lines and they will be able to add more. They could also add the smart phone market to their mix. They would also be able to access cash backing from the Chinese and Japan governments because of the close ties of Jack Ma and Softbanks close ties in Japan. The merger would go though faster and friendlier and would be the best solution to all shareholder value of the three companies. Microsoft is not well liked in Asia and major parts of Europe because of their old school ways of GM bullying which would slow down the merger and even have them have to sell off major assets and properties to complete it. So Microsoft make a 40 to 43 dollar a share new bid now or move on. Newscorp will make a higher bid because of the news released in the last few days if you have been following their business moves. My bet is Yahoo and i truly believe in the long run Yahoo will be king and Microsoft and Google will begin to lose major market share in Asia to Allibba, Softbank and Yahoo. If they all merger into one and keep the Yahoo name their potential has great potential. Better then a Microsoft take over of Yahoo. Reply

    "Slowdown, not recession - Bush. President Bush said the U.S. is not heading in to a recession, merely a 'slowdown,'"

    Bush is "reality challenged". Troubles will continue at least until lenders start offering mortgages at competitive rates again.

    Ms. Levy. Don't you have any opinion at all on gold and oil? And platinum? Maybe silver? Or any other commodity? Wake up! Reply

    Sears Holdings: It's All About Brands, Not Stores [view article]
    I agree with your line of thinking. I remember looking at the Sears furniture section a while ago and Im not sure of the brand they carry but it is like the quality of furniture you would find at WMT. Having a specialty retailer like RSTO will help bring a lot of those catalog shoppers into the stores for convience. Dont have what you want? Order it at the store and have it delivered or pick it up at your local Sears. I think the store inside a store concept will work well and picking up more specialty brands is key. If you can get one person in the store for a certain type of specialty item, they will most likely browse the rest of the store and buy other things while they are there. Each brand brings a different demographic of buyer and exposes them to other brands they may not have went to Sears to buy in the first place. Reply

    Sears Play for Restoration Hardware: Believe in Lampert's Strategy [view article]
    I think his average price on the earlier purchases is more like 4.30/share. Unlikely he bought much below 3. Reply

    Sears Seeks To Acquire Restoration Hardware: This is Huge [view article]
    I'm just an individual investor with a small stake in SHLD (1k), but I have to tell you, the idea of having Restoration Hardware products makes Sears seem much more appealing to me.

    I'm 36 and my wife and I never really shop at Sears. Maybe to look at TVs occasionally but that's about it.

    But with quality electronics, a somewhat appealing clothing line in Land's End, and Restoration Hardware products, I think we'd make sure to visit. And to my mind, that's a pretty radical shift to my attitude toward Sears from previous years.

    Here's hoping I'm not weird ;)

    I would'nt be suprised to find out that one of Eddie's other investment arms has been buying shares as well. SHLD disclosed buying 5.3M shares but if you look at RSTO's volume from 11/8 through 11/15(posted below) someone else has been in the mix as well. On 11/8 alone there were 12.3M shares traded (average volume is only 545,000). It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
