Two Bright Spots in Economic Darkness: TD Ameritrade, Sears Holdings

Big problem with this article, I can't believe this person thinks Sears has a bright spot. The lights went out on this company long ago.

Sears Is Holding Strong

Never read so much smoke and mirrors going on with this company and I used to work for them. I'm glad I'm out and I don't like the manipulation Lampert does to get the stock go up. I still believe in the next few months we'll hear about SHLD going into bankruptcy.

Retailers Face a Volatile January - Barron's

If you had gone into Sears lately and what it was like in the past you would know what I mean. Did you realize that just recently Lampert added a person from Lehman Brothers after it collapsed, one of the same people that led to it's downfall. And yes, when Sears spent money on renovations it did help, yes my store was more profitable. However, if you go into to buy a big ticket item, the MAs and PPPs are high, too high for people at this time.
As for his way of manipulation, he's a hedgefunder and he knows the angles.

Retailers Face a Volatile January - Barron's

It's obvious, nobody is really looking but us employees. We know how they're cutting back, do you think all employees are in the dark? I don't think so.

Retailers Face a Volatile January - Barron's

Have you been in a Sears store lately?? Are you totally aware of what's happening with the company? I worked for them and I know.

SHLD has been in trouble for a while, it's a total shame no one in the markets have noticed how Eddie Lampert manipulates his stock to keep it up. Or how he continues to buy shares in Auto Nation, instead of finding more ways to keep SHLD afloat. He will have a golden parachute when this company goes down and that's totally wrong.

Cramer's Stop Trading! Sears Not So Bad (12/4/08)

Cramer, you have no idea what you're talking about. I worked for Sears and I know what's going on. Do you?? Have you shopped Sears?? Have you seen how employees are being treated? How constantly being out of stock of items needed on the floor for a sale or not in stock? How about waiting in line too long to get checked out?? Are you aware of cash wraps being closed, therefore making it harder for a customer to get out quicker when they're finished getting what they came in for? Are you aware at all that Eddie Lampert is NOT a retailer at all?? That all he is, is a hedge funder and not really putting money in a company that's been around for over a hundred years?? If I were you, I'd sell all the stock, Sears (SHLD) is going bankrupt and all your "buy Sears" is all for nothing. Customers and employees see what's going on, however, you've turned a blind eye.

Retail Winners and Losers This Holiday Season

Sears is in trouble and it's not on the list of being in trouble, sounds like Jim Cramer, he can't see that Sears is in trouble. Only the associates and the customers see it.

Eddie Lampert's Troubles: It's Not Just Sears

I used to work for Sears in the good times, now you couldn't pay me to work there. In fact ole fast Eddie would probably find a way to pay $4.00 under the minimum wage if he could. I expect SHLD to go completely under in about 6 months.

Eddie Lampert's Waterfall

Sears hasn't been right since Alan Lacy and Eddie Lampert. The company is deteriorating faster than you guys realize, customers are lacking in the stores. And fast Eddie is too busy buying shares of Auto Nation. When the company falls, the big wigs will do what they do, pat him on the back and he gets his parachute.

Sears? Bankruptcy? I Think Not

I can't believe what I'm reading...Tom, get a life. Have you stepped into a Sears store lately?? The last time I did, the employees outnumber the customers. The strategy is all wrong, it's not like it was when I worked there in '85 and when I left in '04 it continued to get worse. Customers are practically left on their own and the only sales that count are MAs and PAs. That alone is not enough to keep the company afloat. Sorry, you are so wrong. All of you analysts are wrong. Why don't you go to real Sears stores to find out what the employees have to say for a change?? Going to the numbers of sales isn't enough, it's the employees on the bottom of the totem pole that count.

Sears Faces Risk If Economy Doesn't Improve

I used to work for Sears, it was great from '85 until '91, then the bottom fell out. I've gone to Retail-Worker.com and you should read what the employees are saying. They're all looking to bail out before Sears goes under. Sears was a good company, the magic show is over and the company will be in bankruptcy. It will not be a surprise to all of us who work or did work there. When you go into a store, you do not see alot of customers.

Sears: The End is Near

Oooh lefty hit it right on the head. Sears will never be what it was in the past. Due to greed, poor communication to it's associates on all levels. Plans that don't work, higher ups getting more than their fair share. Cutting back on a/c, giving customers the run around. That's not the company I worked for. That is long gone and not much longer will the company.
