Buy Amazon stock.

It’s a steal at 3000000000x earnings

BABA’s P/E is 30.

But I learned long ago don’t expect the markets to make sense.

Goodbye Sears.

They’ve been on a downhill spiral since the 90s. I’m amazed they’ve lasted this long.

Chapter 11 or Chapter 13? Anybody know?

Sad to see, I used to buy everything at Sears.

Miss their Christmas wish books that I loved as a kid!! Too slow to adapt to e-Commerce!

The important question to ask is What happens to Craftsman? I’ve always liked Craftsman tools.

In my humble opinion, the demise of Sears speaks volumes about why you shouldn't trust your business to those whose qualifications are essentially their college education in ‘business’. Sears was well positioned to compete with Amazon and others who targeted online sales. With their distribution network, history/consumer credibility, and a bricks and mortar component to allow people to actually go and see what they were buying - if they wanted to, they were way better positioned than Amazon. But they blew it. I truly believe that if the general Sears consumer had been surveyed regarding what to do moving forward, they would have identified the proper path to solvency and growth. It's a shame.

It’s funny I feel like an old man but I would get clothes from their men’s department all the time, especially flannels and blank T-shirts. They were so much cheaper and actually decent. Used the website to do online ordering as well

Mom used to take me there every Saturday when I was a little boy. They had a massive pistachio nut machine right near the doorway. It was such a bustling & energized place. Darn shame they ran it into the ground.

Hard to believe the “Big” Sears catalog ended in 1993 and Amazon started in 1994.

Yep, they didn’t miss the next big thing.

Nope, not at all.

They had a century of delivering goods to home experience and 100% missed the next big thing.

Sears was the Amazon of its time.

Sears deserves to go under. Horrid company.

[ConservativeMind]

My wife and I just bought $4,500 in appliances from them for our home.

They were all actually LG, so it was a no brainer, regardless of what might happen to Sears.

You can do better at Sears than anywhere else, if you watch the sales closely.

I guess Eddie Lambert found out it’s easier to steal a company than run it successfully.

All around here those long closed, beautiful Sears buildings made of sand colored stone are still very much in use. They were built like forts.

Not one that I know of was ever torn down.

I imagine this will also take down the remaining Kmarts as well. Not that anyone would notice.

Dang. Used to hang out at a mechanic’s garage back in the late 70’s. Every 6 months they’d gather up the broken Craftsman tools and head over to Sears and swap them out for new ones.

I paid $20 for a 100’ Craftsman steel tape and replaced 15 of them over the years on that one purchase.

They blew it failing to embrace the ‘e’ economy. I’m going to miss them out of nostalgia.

[Jimmy Valentine]

This is just bad management. The ossified management style has doomed the company.

[TheNext]

Sears is the only place that sells Levis in all sizes.

Too little, too late.
