Holland | What's going on with the company ?

From that article Wong there are two things that stand out. One is at the end where it mentions a well run company with freight up to date that the management will stay.

We all know our freight throughout the system at all divisions is not up to date. Recently whether it's true or not, I heard we are at 64% on time and our claims ratio is up higher than in the past.

The second was where it mentioned outside players. What I can garner from that goes against the rumor of Brown buying us. For one the Overnight accession still has not panned out the way they hoped. Two is the mix of UPS shying away from The Union in general. So outside player? Amazon? Uber or Google both jumping into freight and brokerage? They have deep pockets and large backers.

Toby, You didn't mention Disney, they may be looking for a White Elephant.
 
Crapsman got sold to Stanley black and decker. If sears fails before the end of the deal, sbd walks away. If you want good USA tools, buy sk, Wright, or the tool truck brands. If country of origin isn't important, buy carlyle from napa or sunex, both those brands hold their own against us tools.

Wouldn't be much help for your trolling motor, Ted Williams reel is electric and uses all 36 volts, if you don't believe
it, ask Wong.

He could still hook the trolling motor up to one battery and use it while running that reel.

Dang. I haven't been in a Sears store in approximately 10 years, but have a garage full of their Craftsman tools.
Not looking good for Sears and their future.

I don't have a lot, but I liked their automotive specialty tool aisle. No more. They shipped most of it out, and are down to 1 4 foot section that's mostly bare. My bent USA made brake piston pusher got replaced by a taiwanese one.

Judging by their bare shelves, it looks like my local sears will be on the chopping block next. What a shame. Growing up by Flint, you could walk into the genessee valley mall sears, and outfit an entire shop. They sold everything. Only thing the shelves are full of are the gimmick tools, that they have been cranking out.
