god, can you say 'pathetic'? these guys are so dead. McCollough must have gone to the same management school as Alan Lacy (Sears CEO); you'd think he'd look at what the Sears cratering of service levels in their stores has done to their comps. i don't even no where to begin with this one. maybe the best indication is that although they have 'authorized' for $200mm of stock to be bought back, they have bought back NONE to date, even with the stock at $6. lets not forget that basically ALL of their earnings come from their credit card operations, which if i read the press release correctly might be showing some deterioration. wow. stock will probably double on this news. Cheers
