Don't be hypocrites

I hope if you're hard on Eddie that you also are on every other retail CEO of every other retailer that went bust. Fact is that every retailer eventually goes out and it's a cyclical business where tastes change fast. As far as I see Eddie took a... — read more

Eddie stepping down is NOT a good thing for you

I don’t think there is another person on the planet as stubborn as Eddie is. The fact that even he has given up is actually a major blow to your company. Let’s be real here....is there any person you can think of that would keep a company who loses... — read more

A lot of leases from closed stores thrown out

Could be good for company moving forward. You cannot debt that this company had a lot of baggage that bankruptcy is going to clear out. Maybe without costs of closed store leases etc the Ebita positive stores will be able to move forward.

Why is Eddie stepping down a good thing?

He has so much of his own money tied into Sears, doesn't he have the best incentive to find a way to make things work? I see everybody celebrating that he is no longer the CEO, but I honestly can't figure out what's there to celebrate. Especially... — read more
