I’m actually constructive on JCP, despite the disaster. I did some ‘field work’ last time I was at the mall and the manager I spoke to explained the strategy. He said the elimination of coupons has resulted in sales to taper off because old fuckers in wheeled chairs no longer impulse shop. But, the elimination of the coupons were vital to get rid of the fucking lone ass lines, plaguing the stores. Secondly, they are replacing all of the computers/cash registers with iPads to ring up customers in the “Apple way.” Lastly, he is renting out square footage, like Macy’s, to the likes of Sephora, Levis and others. Now it’s going to take time for these changes to take place and EVERYTHING is being marked down. If you’re looking for deals, go to JCP because everything is marked down by 50%, as JCP draws down its inventory. In the future, they will no longer carry vast amounts of inventory and are in the process of eliminating multiple underperforming brands.
Fade Cramer. Keep an eye on JCP.
We are now in a bear market, led by the homosexuals at GRPN. Whoever brought them public, specifically, should be imprisoned.
Unless we wash out 500 points, I am not interested in putting my money to work. I am quite content being half cash, long VHC, EXK, SWHC and a few other small positions.
In summary, as promised, “The Fly” has risen from the dead (extra zombie), just like Jesus, and is now devouring the brains of others, clad in the finest dinner jacket you’ve ever had the honour of witnessing.
NOTE: Yelp is getting into the buy zone and is of great interest to me, following the PCLN for KYAK deal.
