tomderry6	trading at 35% of recent high	Love	September 13, 2009
barrons3	In every single case I can spin every single piece of data negative. There are no pure positives. Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Kohl's (KSS) say back to school is good? A whole host of little ones say it is bad. Home Depot (HD) says things are getting better but Sears (SHLD) and Lowe's (LOW) can't say that.	Love	August 27, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Cramer called the government's appliance rebate program "Cash for Dishwashers" and noted that Whirlpool(WHR) was up on the news whereas Sears(SHLD) "was doing poorly." But maybe Sears "is not such a bad bet," said Cramer, since its Kenmore product line is made by Whirlpool. "How about the people who sell Whirlpool?" he asked. "I think they should be up too." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10585782/1/cramers-stop-trading-the-next-banking-colossus.html" target="_blank">Stop Trading!, Aug. 20</a>	Love	August 21, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	In a <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/video/10584964/sears-down-not-out.html" target="_blank">video filmed today</a>, Cramer said that Sears could turn itself around with new management. At the right price, he said, the stock is a buy.	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	But Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW) and Sears (SHLD) have turned, and there's some strength being shown in the companion restaurant group -- Darden (DRI) and Yum! Brands (YUM) -- so maybe we are seeing the beginning of the gasoline rally!	Love	July 16, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Cramer said we're seeing what he calls a "gasoline rally" in stocks such as Darden (DRI), Coach (COH), Tiffany (TIF), Sears (SHLD), Lowe's (LOW) and Yum! Brands (YUM). "This is all the same trade that we saw when gasoline broke from $4 down to $2 last year," he said. "It's happening again." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10543002/1/cramers-stop-trading-gasoline-rally.html" target="_blank">Read more here.</a>	Love	July 15, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"People want Sears (SHLD) because they want to play companies that will benefit coming out of a recession and are still solvent. They want Johnson Controls (JCI) because they need some play on autos because the auto market is coming back." (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=c0de89ca-5971-4549-98b6-9c1b00f99015" target="_blank">"Saftey Last," 6-1-09</a>) ... Finally, Cramer recommended Sears(SHLD Quote) as a play on "a return to the mall." He said that no one believes in the stock, but "they bought back a lot of stock" and the stock has been going up "pretty consistently." He call it "one of the best-acting retailers out there."

Carl Dorf	consistently loosing market share. Very little money being invested in the business. Shares are being bought back in a declining asset. Very overvalued on the basis of earnings. The preceved real estate play? Do you wnat to own real estate in this environment.	Hate	April 06, 2009
barrons3	The ideal portfolio for right now? Apple (AAPL), 3M (MMM), Freeport McMoRan (FCX), Potash (POT) and Union Pacific (UNP). On deck: Google (GOOG), Whirlpool (WHR), Fluor (FLR) and Sears (SHLD). Who the heck's long that? I know many more people who are short 'em!	Love	April 02, 2009

barrons3	“I would short Sears [SHLD],” says Jeff Macke, “that is, if you can borrow it for a short. I don’t think the stock should be above $10. Or you could buy puts but the premiums are pretty high.	Love	January 21, 2009
barrons3	JC Penney (JCP), Kohl's (KSS) and Sears (SHLD) are making people feel that Wal-Mart (WMT) is aberrant, so does the action in Costco Wholesale (COST). You have to like that not all retail is down. This move surprises me.	Love	January 08, 2009
barrons3	The answer is that there are substantive programs and a lowering of interest rates that are going to produce a better housing market -- hence why people are buying the Housing Sector Index (HGX) and Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) and, yes, the most hated company on earth, Sears Holdings (SHLD). It simply can't be as bad as last year.	Love	December 04, 2008
barrons3	Sears (SHLD) has made it; lets buy bebe stores (BEBE) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and most certainly Jones Apparel (JNY), VF Corp. (VFC), Tiffany (TIF) and Urban Outfitters (URBN).	Love	December 04, 2008
sarah z	For instance, <B>Sears Holdings</B> is in this week's portfolio. The largest department-store in the U.S. announced that it will add $500 million to its buyback plan. This amount is in addition to $72 million worth of common stock remaining from previous repurchases. Since the buyback plan was initiated in the third quarter of 2005, Sears has repurchased about 41.4 million common shares worth roughly $4.9 billion. As of November 28, 2008, the company had approximately 123.6 million common shares outstanding. Bruce Johnson, Sears' interim CEO and president commented, "We believe that our shares represent an attractive investment for our shareholders. Given the difficult retail environment and its effect on our free cash flow, we have reduced our rate of repurchases throughout 2008 as we worked to retain flexibility to pursue opportunities." On December 2, 2008, the company run by hedge fund manager Edward Lampert, reported third quarter results with a net loss of $146 million, or $1.16 a share, as the company closed 14 stores and announced that 8 more closures would soon follow. A year earlier the company reported a profit of $4 million, or 3 cents a share. The company has over 3,800 stores in the U.S. and Canada. Total revenue sunk 8% to $10.7 billion from $11.6 billion. For U.S. locations same-store sales dropped 10.6% and fell 7% at Kmart stores, bringing the total same-store sales down 9%. The Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based company had cash and equivalents of $1.2 billion on November 1, 2008, down from $1.5 billion a year earlier. "We believe we have positioned ourselves well for a difficult holiday shopping season. We have reduced our inventory levels, cut expenses, and announced the closing of select underperforming stores as part of our ongoing review," said Johnson. We were glad to see that the <A HREF="http://www.stockpickr.com/port/Citadel-Investment- Group/#stkPaging "target="blank">Citadel Investment Group</A> likes Sears' stock. Citadel is a $20 billion dollar Chicago-based hedge fund founded by billionaire trader Kenneth C. Griffin, and is one of the world's largest hedge funds. The firm is known for its daily trading volume, which amounts to 1-2% of daily trading activity in New York and Tokyo. From inception through 2006, Citadel earned 25% annual returns. They are also buying <B>Wal-Mart</B> and <B>General Dynamics</B>. Another top-not firm that's putting their money into Sears is <A HREF="http://www.stockpickr.com/port/Legg-Mason/"target="blank">Legg Mason</A>. Founded in 1899, Legg Mason is a leading Global Asset Management Firm headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. They own almost 9.5 million SHLD shares worth over $870 million. In their portfolio you'll also find <B>The Walt Disney Company</B> and <B>Johnson & Johnson</B>. So we have an increased buyback plan, rough third quarter earnings and two immensely successful investment firms buying SHLD shares. Hopefully Eddie will be able to steer this giant department-store in the right direct in the near future.	Love	December 03, 2008
barrons3	Then I fret that who the heck is going to lend the retailers money to hold down inventory for Christmas, and I see the prices of Liz Claiborne (LIZ) and Talbot's (TLB) and Ann Taylor (ANN) and Nordstrom (JWN) and J.C. Penney (JCP) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and Sears (SHLD) -- oh man, Sears -- and I think that these are all better than any of the newly private companies like Neiman Marcus, and I know bankruptcies are around the corner.	Love	November 20, 2008
barrons3	One day the retailers will rally hard, but it’s not now. And if you want a short trade I’d short Sears [SHLD], Jeff Macke adds.	Love	November 19, 2008

barrons3	Q: What about Sears? Balter: We are quite negative on their prospects, as they have underinvested in both Kmart and Sears. Their Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] dropped from $3.6 billion in 2006 to $2.5 billion last year, and we project it being about $1.6 billion this year.
