If you have not been to Sears Holdings (SHLD) site recently, there have been huge changes.
From the release..
“Just in time for the busy holiday shopping season, Sears.com today announced the launch of Sears2go — a mobile commerce Web site. Sears2go, which enables customers to find and buy select Sears.com merchandise from their mobile phone, is the first on-the-go technology offered by a US retailer ; pairing mobile commerce with Sears’ best in class in-store pickup.
“In Sears’ continued effort to innovate and serve our customers as they adopt new technologies, Sears2go makes it easier than ever to cut out the holiday shopping hassles and shop from the convenience of your mobile phone,” said Ravi Acharya, Director of eCommerce at Sears Holdings. “More and more customers are using their mobile phones to shop online and Sears2go is completely geared for mobile devices with an emphasis on speed, usability and security. So, whether you’re stuck on the commuter train or waiting for your child’s holiday concert to begin, you can get your shopping done – ultimately leaving more time for you!”
Sears2go lets customers select products from a wide variety of categories, including apparel, electronics and computers, fitness and sports, jewelry, tools, toys and games with home delivery or in store pickup.
After purchasing an item on Sears2go, shoppers picking up their order in store will receive a text message alert when their merchandise is ready for pick-up.”
We know Sears.com was one of the most trafficked site during last years Holiday Season and Lampert has alluded to their success online. Perhaps more information from Sears on results here would bring more investor excitement from it?
I have tried the site on my Blackberry and it worked great and was easy to use..

Hello Todd,
Yes it is awesome. Is Sears the only retailer doing this.
Also,are you backing up the truck at these prices.
waiting until earnings come out
I hear you,I feel its going to be bad again.You know we need some good news or it will keep tanking.
What do you think.
What do you think about that Autonation and Autozone deal you had an interesting post.
what deal? did i miss something?
NO I READ YOUR POST ON IT YOU SAID THAT IT MAY GO UNDER SEARS UNBRELLA.
gotcha…
i think it makes sense…
either that or out sears auto and AZO together…something
todd – thanks for the update – I got into SHLD based on your recommendation at around $90 – do you see it going back to those levels and, if not, at what price should I sell? thanks a lot.
anyone here have thoughts on the 3 weeks and growing to cover on a LOT of shorts? volume is up slightly but I assume it needs a much larger jump to save some of the huge shorters…
anon,
i think it will surpass that…when is another story.
i’m holding…..
Todd don’t you think this is getting really bad now,,,down over $5.00 today.
Ackman sold over 90 percent of his shares.
Todd don’t get me wrong your information makes sence but it seems never to come out that way.
Look at the shorts you were saying they needed to cover in a few days,,what happens the stock goes down.
Berkowitz bought more but not a significant amount.
What on earth is happening this is suppose to be Lampert’s company.
Where are his strategies…buying in the $100 levels, this is very bad.
