And as for layaway, many are returned to stock for insufficent payment or cancellation when the customer finds something somewhere else cheaper. The numbers were not good for December and stores in my area and even ones based in the companies back yard were slashing hours for employees left and right because of declining sales.

I also would not advise buying into this stock. Their leader , Lampert, is not a retailer. Their executives are short sighted and have been leaving in droves. The inability of middle management or store management to execute and perform is obvious from the numbers. Kmart is a discounter and should be performing better than some of the retailers. Sears used to to be the place to go for things for your home. The declining results say more about what is happening than any stock report. They are failing to do what they should be doing and that is performing as a merchant.
