I assumed you were living in the USA since you are commenting about our economy and you love Obama so much. You must be in Canada, so I'm baffled as to how Obama saved you, (us). I hate when people use these threads for personal convo's so, color me gone from this conversation.

Maybe if people who need knee surgery were responsible enough to pay for health insurance before they buy their iphones, big screen TV's, and expensive cars that require monthly payments, they would also be safe from bankruptcy and their surgery would not have to be paid for by everyone else. Your socialist utopia is coming and it can't be stopped, so be happy, and let us know when you need more surgery, we will pay for that too.

Are you talking about turning JCP's into walmarts? Most JCP's are in malls, many of which would not allow a walmart. Also there are already Walmarts within spitting distance of most JCP's.
Contrators, ok, I get it. So, AGNC...Evil, NLY.....Evil, CIM.....Evil, so where we gonna go for high yield? I just bought ARR on the dip because I wanted a Reit that pays monthly, have held CIM for over two years, through all the doom and gloom predictions, averaged down my cost on the way, got my divs and am back in the green on capitol. Should I sell it as a loser while I'm ahead. I don't know if I'm just lucky but I seem to do better on these "bad" companies than the ones people are raving about. As long as the divs keep coming and you can buy more below your original price, time will work its magic. My one big fear is the suspension of the dividends. That doesn't happen too often in Reits does it.
Yes, I am wondering about that AGNC too. Without compensation, what's their motivation? Seems like their major attention would naturally stray to where they are getting paid. AGNC would be treated like a hobby. That's human nature, seems to me.

I agree, the government and the majority of the press are skewing the numbers in any way possible to generate a positive spin and make Obama look good. The exact same numbers in a republican administration would equal an economy even worse than when this recession started. Am I pessamistic? Hell yes. The war is already lost. This country is halfway down the long slow road to socialism. The dumb masses are brainwashed, and their legion grows every day.

I've been waiting for two years for people to catch on to this stock and start buying.
I have been holding this stock for a long time waiting for it to get discovered. Its hard to be patient, but the potential for an explosion in share price is obvious. Please keep writing articles about LLEN. The news about the company needs to spread somehow.

This thread is apparently dead. The last press release I see was back in Sept. They seem to have crawled into a hole and died. I still have my small position, since it was a dice roll anyway and is really not hurting me. If something real happens I could make out well. I have nothing but time. Insiders don't seem to buying any stock. You would think at these prices they would be if they had confidence in the company. It was probably a scam from the start.

This has been an interesting thread to read. Since the first post in early October when the stock was at 2.00 it has gone as high as 3.30, coming down off that high, it is still up almost 50%. At this point in time, the author's opinion seems validated. Chart shows higher highs and higher lows. Low volume is scary, wish people would find this stock. Yes, I'm long and have catching up to do, but hanging on.
Bret, I am an avid reader of your articles. I am in CAMT at a 3.94 cost basis. Its been a year since this article, would be interested in your opinion and if you have a target price.
Re: " sales per square foot in remodeled stores have increased dramatically when compared to their old counterparts. These "vintage" stores have sales of $134 per square foot while remodeled ones have sales of $269 per square foot." Is this a direct comparison of the exact same stores new numbers to their old numbers, or comparing current numbers of converted stores to stores not yet converted? It sounds like the latter, and if so, I can tell you that many of those unconverted stores are in low traffic malls with terrible sales, which would skew the comparison. I did my own ground zero research during the Christmas season. Walked through the JCP at our mall many times and all I can say is, there was plenty of room to swing a feral cat in there.
I own 2 small stores in a so called "dead mall" in Florida. JMHO, but the problems with JCP, Sears, and other Anchor Strore companies has as much to do with decline of the indoor mall concept as anything else. Malls in tourist zones and heavy populations do ok, but there are far more bad malls than good malls and this will continue to drag these companies down. When Belk's closed in our mall, it took 3 years to get it replaced with a Burlinton on one floor and Dick's sporting goods in the other. They are doing terrible. Sears will be next to go. They already closed the bottom floor. Until these anchor stores and the mall owners themselves like Simon and GGP figure out how to work together to turn all these dead malls into destinations that draw people away from Walmart and Target, the decline is going to continue until the dead malls are knocked down and turned into hospitals or condos. Pennies, Dillards, Macy's, and the rest will be scaled back and exists only in the high traffic malls that survive. And of course, I will be out of business too, since a little guy like me can only rent space in a mall because the big names don't want to.

Nasdaq.com shows insiders bought about 190,000 shares in Nov. and Dec. Would they be doing that if they know a crash and burn is coming? "Where there is smoke there is fire", that's true, even when its a controlled burn.
