I bought some Mar 45 @ 8.50 puts today. I don't think it can hold 40's but then again I shouldn't be thinking.

can someone confirm that shld is hard to short?

if lampart guy is all over this with a massive stake and stops his shares from short selling...

the instit buyers wont dump...

we might have created a bottom around here

I have tried to short it several times without success. Finally bought 'puts'.

really eh!!!

that has got to be some great news in terms of a bottom...

lampart was at 51%

that was before the massive 250 M he bought a while ago and the massive selloff

he should be at 55-60% by now...

theres gotto be fake bottom being created here...

i understand another round of small sell off to 35 or so...taking profit...(and most are speculators)

-- but 30-35 can be a bottom here

Sudden spike in SHLD volume just now - thinking we might see a pop here from $42 but I'm longterm bearish on this so passing.

Ugh, nice pop above $44.50 (next week's calls up 100%)  - didn't buy anything though. -_-

$3.45 pop so far this morning, up to $48 as of posting this - any ideas why?

probably higher...

ill be watching for very strong pullbacks before i come back to buy

but i think lampert guy has got some tricks that have made it a bottom already...

i dont see the 20s being tested

this thing is a beast...

its all hedge fund propping up now

check in point..the worst performers last year:

netflix, shld, gmcr, rimm,

are now the best..and news of hedge funds buying these guys

i see hedge fund buys as very scary..bc they can pull out of stock and drop stocks faster then anything when they see selling pressure

down about 5% today so far.

what is causing the drop?

It's right back up today. I'll probably eat those puts but I still have a month to go. I should have put a stop on it when I bought it and I let it get away from me.

this stock has a mind of its own

Placing some puts on Sears seems like the obvious decision but why the hell did it rise so much?  It seems like too much for the restructuring and asset evaluation.  Gotta watch this closely in the morning.

I dont know how accurate the data is on finviz but if the sales figure it correct at 42billion. There is massive potential. But there is no way im buying potential remotely close to this price.
