The management shakeup is no surprise, and we welcome the change, ... We believe Lewis is the better person to lead a customer-centric business.

The capital markets are so liquid, despite some of the increase in borrowing costs, that they create wonderful choices for consumer companies like Tommy Hilfiger and J. Crew to go private, ... break themselves into pieces, gobble someone else's pieces or just try to raise money to get bigger.

We had a strong back-to-school season and discretionary spending on low-priced items has trended higher. These are good indications for Halloween, which typically sets the tone for the rest of the holiday shopping season.

The pundits that said department stores are dying are wrong. This is a different channel. What you get there, in terms of brands and variety, you can't get elsewhere. There's no substitutability.

We are not surprised to hear of the sale of 24 Kmart units to Home Depot.

The additional cash on the balance sheet from the asset sales will put Kmart in a position to further reduce debt and possibly buyback more shares in a move that could boost share prices further.
