THE BLINDSIDE OF JCP,SHLD & DDS STORE VALUATIONS

February 4, 2011

My recent critical analysis of a WSJ article reporting on Deutsche Bank's estimate of DDS's real estate portfolio value at approximately $50.00 psf and The Appraisal Institute's endorsement of that valuation in a follow up article, has caused some serious questioning of my sanity.

DEUTSCHE BANK IS WRONG ABOUT JCP AND DILLARD'S STORE VALUES

February 3, 2011

Real Estate Portfolios Are Large Part of Many Retailers' Worth | www.appraisalinstitute.org

The very authoritative and prestigious Appraisal Institute, (the one that awards the MAI designations) shows its' ignorance about the valuation of department store store real estate in this article. By echoing a recent WSJ article that quoted Deutsche Bank's Bill Dreher's ridiculous estimate of the current market value of JCP's and Dillard's real estate, they show themselves to be as wrong about values of department store real estate as the typical poorly informed bank analyst.

Do Craftsman and Kenmore "Broadcast Portals" Help the Sears Stores?

January 26, 2011

Craftsman Experience-Sears Pushes the Click and Mortar Envelope | www.mcmillandoolittle.com

This analysis of the new Craftsman and Kenmore "non-retail" stores is worth reading by any GLG News reader who is interested in SHLD or retailing in general. The main reason for my recommendation is that this article is written by one of the most insightful retail consultants in the industry, McMillanDoolittle LLP. Their newsletter, Retail Watch, should be a must-read for any analyst interested in what's happening at the cutting edge of retailing.

Dillard's REIT Play; An Opportunity for Insiders to Cash Out!

January 26, 2011

Dillard's REIT Play Might Pave the Way for Other Department Stores | retailtrafficmag.com

This is probably the most misleading of all the recent articles I have read about the proposed Dillard's REIT! It has prompted me to wave the largest possible red flag to warn the GLG News reader of the real implications of what happens when a very troubled department store company such as Dillard's or Sears tries to monetize their owned properties.

A Brief History of Panics

January 13, 2011

Ever since the late 1700's when 24 merchants founded the New York Stock Exchange at an Inn along the road that connected the two walls on the lower part of the island, built to keep out the British some 100 years previously, there has been a long series of financial panics. I thought the GLG News readers might benefit from reviewing the causes and effects of those panics.

Another Distraction For Sears Management

December 28, 2010

Sears Launches Video Download Service | www.chicagobusiness.com

One of the first things I learned from many of the top merchants in the world during a 40 + year career in Retailing was "to always try to be the best at what you do best". If you sell shoes, be the best shoe seller you can be. It is well understood and practiced by the top retailers, that distractions hurt the main effort in more ways than can be imagined.
