I used to be convinced that Sears would be done by the end of this month, February at best. Now I'm starting to change my mind. The way things have been going, I'm starting to think they'll actually try to keep Sears on life support for another year... — read more 

I can't figure out how desperate a supplier has to be to entrust Sears with any of its products right at this point.

I don't know how it went down on the Sears side of things, but at Kmart, three years after implementation, the average items scanned at Kmart when from 18 items scanned per minute to 5. That's pretty much Eddie's business acumen in a nutshell.

So did Eddie and the Three Stooges manage to lose less than $2 Billion this year? Surely with less than a quarter less stores to manage they should have managed to lose less than a quarter the money, right? There's a limit to incompetence!

Why was the last closing list so small? What exactly is Eddie's angle, here? Most on this page were expecting a huge blowout of stores after Christmas/New Years, but we barely get 1 Kmart, and 2 Sears. The liquidators should be free in about 1... — read more
