Chairman Also Asking To Be Added To ‘No Executive Kidnapping’ List

By

It’s getting really hard to work up righteous indignation over this shit every single morning so please excuse the halfhearted tone of this one. SHLD, chaired by Eddie Lampert– as in the founder and CEO of ESL Investments– has seen its application to the ‘no short’ list accepted. Additionally receiving the protection o’ Cox this morning, though in the sub-category of “WTF are you doing here” as opposed to “Gutless Hypocrites” are Wright Express Corp, ZALES, Apartment Investment and Management Co, Autonation, Grubb & Ellis, and Hersha Hospitality Trust.

      Zales is crucial to the US economy. It would present systemic risk if the stock dropped. Where would mallrats buy their 1/4 carat engagement rings? I think Orange Julius should be on the list also. Nice work SEC……so proud of you.
