Eddie Lampert's Buying More Sears - Should You? [View article]
Lampert has it covered from both angles and he knows it. Even being long SHLD could get you "hurt bad." You may not agree with it, but "Wall Street Artist" lays out a very possible scenario Lampert may implement, in the following article:
After all, he's been (what some may disagree with) trying to save this company since 2003, which certainly makes it seem like he's had no other intentions.

They're both fighting for the scraps that are left behind by other companies that know how to run their business better. With as poorly as JC Penney has been doing lately, Sears should have been able to take away all of their customers and cause them to go out of business by now, but Sears can't even handle doing that. Let's be honest, it appears they are both "loosing market share."

Funny, I was just about to post a similar comment about that Star Trek episode when I scrolled down and seen yours about it. Here's a link to a video about that episode:
If Lampert really "idolizes Buffett" he should listen to Warren's advice in this video and stop trying to run a business he obviously knows nothing about, since he's been unable to "turn it around" in the 10 years he's been in charge of it.
When it comes to the Berkshire Hathaway to Sears Holdings comparison, I like to listen to this interview with Warren Buffett himself as he comments about how it all began and what he would have done differently.
Here's a link to an interview with Buffett and his feelings about investing in Berkshire. Sometimes you simple do something for the wrong reasons and still come out on top, but I doubt he would have done it the same way again if he had the chance, as he notes in the conversation. Also, if Sears is another Berkshire why isn't Buffett putting some "money in the pot" for himself instead of staying with Walmart?

A man's "net worth" is not what makes a great man. If you want to attack someone's comments by asking what their "net worth" is then it says a lot about your character and what your true values are.
"Paulco" actually made some statements that were based on some evidence by the stats that even Lampert and Sears Holdings have admitted to in shareholder letters, but continues to say these figures are really not that important. Now this may be his "plan" for all we know, but I've not seen Sears Holdings mention that any redevelopments are making a profit yet. If you do, please specify which properties they say are "booming" for them.

Sears has a lot of property they are having a hard time selling and didn't plan to redevelop, as well. Now if they can get this property redeveloped and making some money before they go under that might just help them, but that's a big if, if you ask me.

Read them. A lot of "fluff," not much substance on what they specifically plan to do. The following is a good article on their last shareholder letter.

Like all of Lampert's CEOs they are just "puppets" with Lampert "pulling the strings," as you elude to when you state he "was always in control." Although, I'd have to admit, if I was throwing around that much money, I'd want to be in control as well...LOL!
Shares of Sears Holdings (SHLD -1%) remained relatively unscathed while retail rival J.C. Penney slumped 55% in a year as the story on each company remains quite different. Despite the different tracks of the retailers, a scathing downgrade from Maxim on JCP could have some read-through to Sears Holdings. The firm thinks the immense square footage held by JCP is greatly overvalued by investors. Is SHLD in the same boat? [View news story]
It's more like the Titanic than a boat, but even the Titanic sank when the builders said it wouldn't. Just like the Titanic, there aren't many life boats to go around, except for Lampert and Berkowitz who own most of the company.
