Why would he just "liquidate " the SHLDQ shares? the media would have a field day with the many lawsuits, etc that ensued...
Lampert loves everything about this deal- he put it all together...
Hes not going to tarnish this by screwing a handful of "shareholders"
Lampert is going to make so much money on this and make a lot of people
money.
The only ones he dosent care about are the shorts (especially the "naked ones")
HE WILL SCREW THE SHORTS
In a "nutshell"? Lamperts hedge fund, ESL, now owns SEARS.....
and a new business model of Sears will soon emerge from bankruptcy, with a dedicated CEO anchored by hedge fund monies, huge tax incentives and a fleet of delivery and service vehicles and technicians already intact?
Am I "pumping"SCHLD? or just wishful thinking?
Thank You, StockPicker4 for a very simple fact filled post explaining what has been happening and the thought process behind Eddie Lamperts successful sears bankruptcy bid. A brilliant move...
Have you noticed the number of foolish, blatent, non factual postings,on this board today?
Am I wrong?
They will not say it, but in order to short SHLDQ they HAD TO be NAKED SHORTING - how could anyone have ever "borrowed" that many shares to short? The volume was very light...
(during a short squeeze?) Where do you get "bankrupt" shares?
This took everyone by surprise - including the brokers. This is where It gets a little fuzzy....
LAMPERT IS A SMART GUY - IM SURE HE KNOWS WHAT HES DOING - I DONT SEE HIM SCREWING SHAREHOLDERS, (its not necessary, is it?)
Due to Online Sales getting bigger and bigger, would malls offer "sweetheart" deals to keep Sears stores in the mall?
Eddie Lampert didnt get rich by being stupid...
I remember KMart going out of business before Christmas last year, and they sold the entire contents of the store (IMO - When Sears took over KMart, things went from bad to worse)
Exactly how many Sears stores are actually Sears Property Owned?
Could Sears therotically rent out these stores?
There must be quite a few of them (Sears IS over 100 years old)
Question about Bankruptcy?
Does Lampert get whatever is inside all of the Sears and Kmart Stores?
The Warehouses?
D & D tells me that Sears Owns a lot of stores including the property they are on...
Agreed- The volume is way too low for a selloff - but what a rollercoaster ride!
I dont have level 2 in front of me...
It always comes down to supply and demend
ARE THESE ALL SMALL SALES THE MM'S SELLING SHARES BACK AND FORTH?
The huge pps surge on Mon and Tues I expected (and a pullback)
But something is holding the pps down...
When I clicked that link, it took me to "server error"
I doubt he was referring specifically to "shareholders" (especially day traders)
He was in bankruptcy court - Asking for forgiveness of debt.
Besides shareholders, there are many, many others with a "stake" in Sears (current lifelong employees, retirees, as well as all debtors and creditors...
But it certainly would include shareholders....
What Happened?
The signs were always there, right under my nose..
Sears filed and immediately closed the store in the mall near me - Why would a store go bankrupt and not even have a "firesale" a month before Christmas? (the answer is - all the merchandise is still in there, and it will reopen)
Yep, I just got in SHLDQ this morning at $2
My only regret is that I waited and watched the RSI yesterday.
Im now a member in good standing of "The Eddie Lampert Fan Club"
I wish I could right now - The financials will be be better than expected.
(they already had "lowered" their expectations early in January...
(JMO)
ACB is grossly OVERSOLD (shorts will be in control until power hour)
Earnings announcement is at end of trading day
No doubt - The shorters are the daddies on this board..
Gotta give them credit They have been making lots of money on this stock
Your probably right - There is a reason networks aren't giving this much attention either. But where is it originating from? Its not Pump and Dump.. From what I can see - there arent even enough day shorters left on this board anymore...
Whats going on with this FNMA?
The Govt is discussing releasing the GSE's and there is low volume and only .09 increase in pps? Are we being scammed?
Perfect Answer Reddog!
LOL! "Massive Volume"?? (you aint seen nothin yet)
MM's just covering their day trades (check your RSI)
When power hour comes - watch the pps head north, when all the day traders are gone....
JMO
You can NEVER beat the MM's It certainly seems like they "sold" higher (borrowed shares) at the "anticipated" open and patiently bought them back as the day progressed. It must be great feeling being an MM - you never lose..
True Stockman, No reason for anyone to be shorting this stock now. As we all know, the shorts have made a lot of money on FNMA over the past few years.
The day traders will continnue to short FNMA, but not as much....
There are many other stocks out there to short...
Yes, and then a long weekend to build up demand?
I bought back in today, after a loss (i just lost confidence)
I still think Trump knows a money maker when he sees it, but its gonna be fun ride as this stock gains momentum again.
Im wondering why the financial channels havent given this much coverage?
They will have to cover it now
Just Keep Your Eye On The RSI
But Don't Blink - NBEV
is in a breakout.....
Does anyone here remember "commercial" pot? (you know, that cheap weed that was loaded with seeds, that used to pop in your pipe?
Agreed TUTU, of course the "earnings" were missed. The projected earnings were based on a bogus "retail" model by people who do not understand the business.(Aurora,the company is wholesale)
One only needs to ask the average cannibbiss consumer;
Are you going to buy your weed from an expensive dispensary, and pay more, just because its legal to do so, or are you going to buy from your local "wholesaler"(the trusted dealer you'be been buying from for years)
Im surprised ACB opened so strong, with "missed earnings"
ACB is set to become a "Home Depot" of Cannibiss
Farm Bill Being Signed By Trump Right Now
Well said WallWeed!
Rejoice, its just opportunity knocking to buy more on a dip...
Better hurry!
Not that NBEV needs any "pumping"....
I was curious, so I checked out New Age Beverages using google maps..
Is NBEV a company thats been carefully planned out?
You can clearly see the New Age Beverage building, adjacent to an empty lot next door, that could easily double the size of its current building...
(and check out the RR tracks behind the building)
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8197125,-104.9673074,222m/data=!3m1!1e3
Why is NBEV PPS going UP?
Its not just the farm bill that will soon legalize Hemp.....
Jeff Sessions has resigned..
Trumps new Chief of Staff is a strong MJ supporter...

Trump’s New Chief of Staff Is the Marijuana Movement's 'Strongest Ally in the White House'
Calvin Hughes
Dec 15, 2018
In a tweet last night President Donal Trump announced his new hire for White House Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney. Mulvaney is currently the director of the Office of Management and Budget as well as the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Once he starts the new job, Mulvaney may just be one of the biggest cannabis reform supporters in the White House, a potential boon for the legalization movement.
Over the past few years, Mulvaney has supported amendments that would have prevented the Department of Justice from interfering in state cannabis laws; allowed Veterans Affairs doctors to offer medical marijuana to vets; and given banks more agency to deal with state-legal marijuana business without federal repercussions. Experts see Mulvaney's past voting decisions as a sign that he may play a key role in changing the federal stance on cannabis.
"Mulvaney's history of opposing wasteful government spending and support for states' rights, specifically when it comes to marijuana, makes him our strongest ally in the White House," Don Murphy, director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project, told Marijuana Moment.
While it's unclear how often Mulvaney will actually see cannabis related measures land on his desk, he will be involved in discussions with the president about which legislations should be supported. And some of those are bound to be marijuana-related.
Funny you should Ask That....

CBD Will Get a Boost With Passage of a New Farm Bill -- Barrons.com
An $867 billion farm bill that is expected to pass in Congress this week will fund food stamps, crop subsidies and -- to the glee of many stock promoters -- legalize industrial hemp, a source of the popular ingredient cannabidiol, or CBD. Brace yourself for CBD-infused drinks, foods, cosmetics and stocks.
The most significant impact of the farm bill will be its funding of 10 more years of food stamps and farm subsidies. But hitching a ride on the farm bill wagon are provisions that decriminalize hemp. Technically speaking, hemp has been a controlled substance under federal law and could only be grown with a license under certain state research programs. The new farm bill will allow hemp cultivation without a license in every state.
Hemp has lots of CBD, but little of the buzzy ingredient known as THC that makes the plant's cousin marijuana so popular at parties. In fact, the main difference between the two plants is their respective levels of CBD and THC. Marijuana will remain illegal under federal law, regardless of its legality under local law in dozens of states.
As a chemical, CBD is considered "non-psychoactive," but it has soothing properties that led the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in June to approve a CBD-containing prescription drug from GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH) for treating two rare seizure disorders that can be life-threatening in infants.
Products with a little bit of CBD as a "food additive" have been available for a while from small outfits such as the yet-unprofitable New Age Beverages (NBEV). With the farm bill assuring the federal legality of hemp production and distribution, big firms may now start putting CBD as a "functional" additive in drinks -- along the lines of Coca-Cola's Vitaminwater.
Canadian cannabis leaders such as Aurora Cannabis (ACB) have long harbored hemp ambitions, and beverage giants such as Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) may finally make their long-rumored entries into the CBD-drink space. Cannaccord Genuity analyst Bobby Burleson estimates that CBD-infused beverages could become a $260 million market by 2022.
Fans of CBD have also touted the stuff as a panacea for anxiety, pain, inflammation, and even cancer. Another benefit of the farm bill's passage should be an increase in the scientific testing of cures claimed for CBD and the hundred-odd other cannabinoids in hemp and cannabis. In the past few years, the FDA has sent warning letters to marketers of CBD-based products that the agency said were making unapproved drug claims, or which didn't contain the levels of CBD advertised. In a 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers analyzed CBD products from 31 companies and found that 70% didn't contain the labeled amounts of CBD.
One of the recipients of an October 2017 warning letter from the FDA was a Boulder, Colo., company that is one of the rare cannabis or hemp businesses that makes a profit. Charlotte's Web Holdings came public this year on the Canadian Securities Exchange and sells CBD-rich oils in 3,000 retail locations. It earned $9 million, or 10 cents a share, on revenue of $48 million in the nine months ended September 2018.
The FDA's October 2017 warning letter scolded Charlotte's Web for its website, where visitors at the time could find discussions of CBD as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer and diabetes. The agency argued that Charlotte's Web was obliged to test its product as a drug. In recent investor presentations, Charlotte's Web says that it disagrees, but "is still in active discussion with the FDA" and has yet to resolve the agency's concerns.
On the CSE, shares of Charlotte's Web (CWEB.Canada) have climbed nearly 50% in the past week, to a current price of 16 Canadian dollars apiece. The company and other marketers of hemp-derived CBD think the farm bill will lift a cloud from their industry. The bill's passage will be "a catalyst for growth," Charlotte's Web CEO Hess Moallem said in his company's recent earnings release.
"We have contributed to and support this important legislation from the beginning," said Moallem, "for the positive impact it will have on consumer access."
I agree, %100 its just you mentioned "alcohol" ...
I drink vodka, but not because I have to....
In my travels and my involvement in the legalization movement, I have come to realize one our greatest enemies is not the FDA, nor the religious far right, but the incurable alcoholic, whether they are the typical barfly, a closet drinker, the "functional" alcoholic or one of the many required to attend AA meetings.
Ever met one?
Its a sure sign of shorting.
But Ive done a lot of DD on this stock(and im not talking about just reading what seeking alphs says)
Aurora is a GOOD stock...
No place to go but UP....
It will be interesting to see what Aurora does on the Canadien mkt tomorrow
Ive been waiting to get in on ACB. I figured no way, after Canada went legal and it listed on the NYSE. I'm not sure why it dipped on such strong News, (I have my suspicions) But I'm IN (what an opportunity- a potstock on the NYSE for a little over $5)
Instituitional Buys are Coming this year....
The farm bill should drive up the pps (hopefully in a Santa Clause rally)
But investors should take smaller shorter profits, because this guy Willis does not belong on the board of NBEV. Willis has a long history being named to numerous company boards but unfortunately his history has been getting himself on company boards and then getting fired, after pps nosedives.....
Brent Willis is bad news...
The silver lining here is he cant get away wityh NASDQvstocks like he did with otc stocks...
