I'm reading bad news about Sears/KMart. If Sears goes tits up, I hope
they hand off the Craftsman line. I always had good luck with their
hand tools.


Don't worry, some Chinese holding company will buy them out. The new
stores will be Shears and Claymart. ^_^


Or, equivalently, HF will expand.....


I could be wrong, but I doubt it. The profit taking that resulted in their
lower selection and greater number of listed items out of stock doesn't
leave them in much of a position to pick up market share. Wal-Mart will
likely continue to expand though.
