While glancing at the SHLD stock price this morning a picture emerged in my mind. We know Eddie loves the book Atlas Shrugged. I pictured Eddie as Atlas, the giant who holds the world upon his shoulders. Only SHLD was the world. It was a struggle between SHLD and Eddie. SHLD just wants to collapse and Eddie was sweating and grunting and turning red as he was pushing the heavy SHLD upward and both forces were struggling against each other. First it looked like SHLD was going to win stock drops to $10.12 then Eddie, with muscles shaking pushes up and it climbs to $10.32, then SHLD pushes downward and it drops to $10.22....and so on and so forth.
Eddie WILL eventually shrug and the whole darn thing will crash down. One side yells, "PUSH EDDIE, PUSH," while the weary laden Sears slumps heavier and heavier. The only question...
When will Eddie shrug?
