Quotation of the Day

“It’s the longest liquidation in retail history. His reputation in the retail community is that he’s a financial pirate.”

— Mark Cohen, former chief executive of Sears Canada and professor at Columbia Business School, on Edward S. Lampert, whose hedge fund made an outsize, long-term bet on Sears and Kmart. Sears Holdings last week raised doubts about its own ability to survive.

.......and Jim Cramer said Lampert was such a financial genius in his youth holding his own with the captains of industry until they found out he was only 15 years old and sent back to the hoi polloi.

Reporters parked a 17-foot motor boat in a lagoon about 800 feet from the back lawn of The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach and pointed a 2-foot wireless antenna that resembled a potato gun toward the club. Within a minute, they spotted three weakly encrypted Wi-Fi networks.
