She doesn't think it'll go really low, but doesn't recommend buying it.

Eventually it will get a Dead Cat Bounce when Sears/Kmart finally pulls the plug.

People want safety for their daughters, wives and mothers.
How utterly selfish of them.

Because there is more downside potential?

I reread the article, and she recommends selling the stock.

Too bad I posted #6 before reading your post. There’s your answer.

And for themselves, and it's both safety and privacy. I no longer want to use public restrooms, and I don't think I'm alone in that regard.

You never know what stupid Liberal policy their management is going to glom onto next.

I don’t shop there and never have. I have also converted my wife away from Target...as I pointed out that our children are targets for sodomites in their stores.

I GET surveys all the time from Target asking if what happened affected my shopping there. I said, yep, forever.

They even offered free gift card just to walk in the doors, said nope.

Target can’t undo this. They are stuck with their ridiculous ruling.

The stock has sunk to $0.00 in my household.

There is a Target within 1.5 miles of my house. I was a regular customer.

Then, the company filed an “amicus brief” with the Supreme Court applauding the attempt to redefine marriage.

I now drive OUT OF MY WAY to shop elsewhere.

Target targeted itself out of my life.

Target’s business will slide further (they are STILL letting grown men into the little girls’ room!...can you believe it!????)

Sears has to get its product lines and price points into sync. Too much unexceptional merchandise at pretty high prices. Not attractive to consumers. If consumers want more distinctive or fashionable merchandise, they will go elsewhere (lots of stores such as Macy’s and many more). If consumers want lower prices/better deals, they also will go elsewhere (Walmart, Costco, Dollar Stores, etc). Not much patronage left for Sears guys, Today, you can roll a bolling ball through the Sears store and not hit any customers .....

Nonsense.

People like to say this but TGT has been strugging for over a year because of decisions made to close stores and reorganize.

Here is a two year chart - you can have your own opinion about things but not your own FACTS:

There’s likely good people depending on a job with Target, and I hope the best for them. As for the whackjobs who proposed, promoted, and implemented policy that insults families and puts women at risk - hope every damn one of them gets fired.

1. store management has no business using corporate resources to crusade for homosexual marriage and
2. store management has no legitimate business purpose or right to let grown men into the little girls’ rooms
3. store management is hired to maximize shareholder wealth, not use shareholder resources for management’s personal political or social purposes
4. a great big class-action shareholder lawsuit is undoubtably coming soon...

“3. store management is hired to maximize shareholder wealth, not use shareholder resources for management’s personal political or social purposes”

It’s amazing how many companies’ CEOs have violated that basic tenant of management. I go out of my way to avoid Starbucks, and in the process I have discovered several wonderful, independent coffee shops.
