OK I am trying to figure out what Eddie Lampert (labeled as being the next Warren Buffet and the guy is good) is going to do with his new project, i.e. the Sear's Holding Corp. I would be the first to admit that I would never touch it if it were just going to be a retailer consisting of the two entities. But if Lampert is going to use the holding company as his investment vehicle then we should look a bit more closely right? He has $23/share in cash to play with, he has already approved cost cutting measures and I am guessing he will do something with the Land's End apparel company (albeit spin-off or sale). He is really trying to squeeze the cash out of the businesses (even though they may be sub-par) but the question is what will he do longer-term with the holding company? Is this BRK part 2 (or the next closest thing) or just the marriage of 2 retailers?
