Cramer's Stop Trading! The Best-Acting Retailer Out There (6/1/09)

Sears? I'm no fan of Cramer, but I challenge The Almighty One or anybody else to cite five reasons why Sears is "one of the best acting retailers out there." Sears continues to sputter along on momentum from the days when it was America's largest retailer and one out of every twenty four Americans had worked for Sears at some point. Their stores, which actually enjoyed a merchandising renaissance TWENTY YEARS AGO are poorly merchandised, dark, and chock ablock with empty runs of shelves. Nothing about Sears or Kmart indicates that either brand has identified its core customers. The merger of the two brands never went beyond the board room or the balance sheet, and the much ballyhooed real estate play within the merger never bore fruit. So, Jimmy, where's the friggin' beef? Would somebody other than clown prince Jon Stewart please challenge this guy?!?
