Shorts Posting Fake News
Shorts attacking again beware. These guys work to bring down company morale so they can make money on the stock market. They were a factor in bringing down Sears. Your company is fine because Eddie is not your CEO.
It's beginning to look a lot like Sears...
Has anybody else noticed that stores are looking bare lately? Empty fixtures or only a couple of items on large tables. Fixtures off the floor and aisles so wide now. It feels very much like how Sears stores went before they started to close so many... — read more

Just off the wire today, company has hired a firm to restructure. Expect layoffs soon, store closures, and even a possible Bankruptcy. I said before a partial Chapter 11 was possible in October and if this says anything, it's that could be true.
Massive layoffs
Rumor has it in Plano Corp offices another massive layoff us about to happen in Corp offices and supply chains. More stores to close than reported... looking to restructure.
When's the next layoff and how many stores?
So as we all know, JCP announced another bad quarter. Stock is once again below $1 and I'd say it will likely stay that way. Closings are being predicted this year, with a possible 100 stores to be closed. Do you all think we are going to see those... — read more
