Penneys stops appliance sales - win for Sears

Now the Penneys appliance customers will be frolicking into Sears stores. A nice step to regaining the top dog spot in appliance sales. I have a 50 year old Kenmore fridge still chugging along in the basement keeping my cases of beer nice and cold... — read more

LOL Sears thinks it has a chance

Sad reality is that the main competitor of Sears is pulling in nearly a billion dollars a day in sales and is expanding rapidly. I believe sears was losing 40 million a day and no clear plan on how to stop the burnnnnnn. Didn't the transformation... — read more

The judge could decide today

I honestly hope that it is, in fact, decided today, with no more extensions, deadlines, objections..etc. Get it over with already, whatever the outcome is. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/02/07/investing/sears-decision/index.html

Dear Judge Drain,

As you ponder your final decision today, please consider the legacy of your role and the consequences your decision will have for years to come. As noted in several poignant posts below by @XvExfno, @Xu9sMBf, and countless others, you have an... — read more

It’s disgusting that Eddie is using associates as leverage

The only “winner” in this plan is Eddie. He does not give a wit about the Sears or Kmart associates. He’s proved that over and over again. It’s disgusting that he is using associates as leverage, saying he’s “saving jobs” when his real motivation is... — read more

Slow-motion liquidation

Glad that the media is talking about the real motives of Eddie’s strategy, given that they didn't speak on the subject other than the formal reporting. Finally, it’s becoming obvious that Sears can’t survive in any form and that this smaller... — read more

Speculation is futile

All of the speculation on here about the motives of the judge, ESL (Eddie), Sears (Eddie), secured creditors (Eddie) is nauseating. We'll never know the true impact to the business or our own employment until the judge hands down his decision this... — read more

A good time to go job hunting

Whatever happens in the next day or two, it’s going to be a taught time at Sears in the future. Maybe we should exploit the fact that the spring season is just around the corner and a lot of retailers are hiring workers. I waited long enough, I'm... — read more

The real story on the bankruptcy is on Seekingalpha

Someone that actually went to the hearing said the unsecured creditors didn't fare too well with the judge, didn't come prepared and were basically criticized for wasting time. I suspect that if this is the direction things are heading. This will... — read more

Finally we see what his plan is

“Transier acknowledged that Lampert's plan included possibly three store closings a month this year, the sale of $600 million of real estate over the next three years and unspecified cuts to staff.“

The anatomy of Eddie’s bid

Regarding docket 2312. Docket 2312 is about a plan “Sears Oldco” exiting Chapter 11 whole. This is actually the public company that has current shareholders. I do not believe in their plan for many reasons; but it is their stated goal. I’d been... — read more

Wake up Sears associates...

Wake up. This is a Sears/Kmart liquidation. Listen to the Liquidation Conference calls every Friday in closing stores. They are run by Sears and Kmart people. This is not a chapter 7 liquidation controlled setting. It is Sears and Kmart controlled... — read more
