I doubt Sears will see 2019. Seems like these closing lists are coming out after every money losing quarter now.
Only thing is people were saying in 2008 that Sears wouldn't see 2009. Fact of the matter is that KMart/Sears is basically a real estate company at this point. Doesn't typically matter how good or bad the store is doing, they just want to liquidate their assets and cash out. When the right offer comes along for Haywood, they'll finally close up shop and Simon can hopefully totally transform that space.

Partly true. But more of a victim. The investors made out nicely. Shareholders, not so much. I say Q 1 19. They’re broke No more credit.

Yes. It's a little more dire than it was in 2008. They don't have many assets left to sell and they have had 6 straight years of losses. I think I read where they lost 425 million alone in Qtr. 1 this year. That can't continue much longer. What's the old saying - burning the furniture to heat the house or something like that.

Pretty much. Economic Darwinism. The bonds are junk.

In this case, the executives are burning the company's assets to feed their own bank accounts. The fact that you can raid a company for money while burning it to the ground is a failure of our current economic system. Those that control a company should be working for the best long term interests of the company, not for the short term interest of their own wallet.
On a side note, I read recently that Craftsman hand tools will be sold at Lowes Home Improvement stores starting next year. I hope the warranty on my existing tools will be usable at Lowes - that will be a big improvement from Sears.

I saw that about Craftsman too. Surprised Lowes's hasn't acquired Kenmore for their appliance business. Isn't Sears leadership trying to acquire that too before the end?
I noticed today the Save-a-Lot/RiteAid on Wade Hampton across from Dunkin Donuts has closed. Looks like they had a liquidation sale by the signage and Walgreens transferred the prescriptions to their nearby store.
