Down about 10% today. Hit a fresh 52-week low.
If I didn't know better, and I felt that department stores weren't a good investment in this modern age, and I didn't have complete faith in Eddie Lampert, and I wasn't totally optimistic about the future, and I wasn't being sarcastic, then I'd start to suspect that there might be a long-term pattern forming here.
Good thing that I'm none of those things! D'oh!
Pillars of retail department store strength, baby. That's what I'm talking about. Again.
I have a position in Kohl's (KSS) as an exception. So far that position has been BOHICA. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe BOHICA position can fletch a good price in a free market. Badum-ching. ;)

ReplyDeleteSallie Mae sell Sears' shell, buy the Macy's short?
Fate sealed with a kiss... of death. Sigh.
Not to be confused with the KISS of Beth, but Beth, what can they do?
