Sears Holdings (SHLD) was supposed to be the next Berkshire Hathaway. It does not seem to be working out that way. After a poor earnings performance and rough same-store sales, SHLD hit a new 52-week low of $123.54 today. The stock’s 52-week high was $195.18.

Putting Sears and K-Mart together was going to be a good idea. But, then SHLD management found out no one wanted to shop at either place. It’s tough on investors. Even if the company ends up with ten retail chains, if they are not popular, it doesn’t help much. Maybe the company could buy Sharper Image.

The news from Target (TGT) and Lowe’s (LOW) has sent all of the retailers down. It does look like the beginning of a retail recession, and SHLD appears to be leading they way down.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
