SHLD stock is on the move
We are back up $ .01 today
Just curious, did anyone in store support ever see a raise?
If so, how much was it? I didn't stick around long enough to find out if the rumor about the raise would ever materialize.
I can't say who I am but...

Our transformation is almost complete! Don't believe the naysayers and the fake news! Sears is making a comeback!!! We are simply going through a transitional phase. All companies do. Those that remain loyal will be rewarded.
Daily Cash on Hand Estimate thread
The life expectancy of SHLD rides on the amount of cash on hand that is left. In the past six days I've seen that number as low as $160 mil and as high as $220 mil. So at this moment how much actual cash on hand is left? What do you think?
