I don't think it will go as far as a Chapter 7, at least not yet. They may convert from 11 to 7 at some point in the process, but that's if the court determines that their ability to sustain itself as a going concern is challenged. It's most likely... — read more

About Sears, Chapter 7 and Eddie
This was posted 11 months ago, the "anonymous" was off about 6 month about the filling date, but otherwise spot on: Chapter 13 is almost always for individuals only, not businesses. In chapter 7 you just liquidate and walk away. Chapter 11 is a... — read more

A New Record Low Close
SHLD closed at 0.3421per share. In other words, two shares of SHLD will buy you one Forever stamp and you would get some change back. LOL
Pebble?
Any mention of the impending doom on Pebble? That's actually the one thing I wish I could have at my new company that Sears had. Pebble really is a great communication tool.
What happens if people read news?
What affect on vendors , transportation carriers and third party business is this going to have with all the media ?
If sears/Kmart files bk 10/12/18

we probably will not get paid
When bk chapter 7 is filed, we probably will not get paid. I would suggest not working, until their is an official announcement. Otherwise, you will be working for free.
Pensions
Will employee pensions be paid if Sears goes into Chapter 7 bankruptcy. There are over 100k Sears retirees. Just wondering
mattress vendors
Members mattress orders not being filled by vendors. Big holiday weekend commissions getting canceled. Don't get it. These are paid for by members. My guess is Sears collects payments but doesn't pay vendors share.
Money never sleeps, pal
Greed for lack of a better word, is good. Gordon Gecko Break up the pieces, sell them to yourself at a discount, then leave the sc-aps for the buzzards.
