I suspect the hedge fund managers have squeezed every last drop of juice out of Sears (in both countries) that is possible.  The management fees collected are probably more than chump change too.  Sears has really been deceased for a number of years, life support (while the hedge fund harvests the organs, aka anything of value) has given the allusion life.   One has to wonder what the value of the "Craftsmen" logo will be. going forward. to Black and Decker.   Sears has gone from being on the top of the retail food chain to six feet underground.  Time to blow taps.
