TradeStation comment:
"The once-thriving department store operator flip-flopped from one mishap to another: Martha Stewart, Everyday Prices, Shops, appliances, poor management," TradeStation said.
"Same-store sales languished, shoppers shrugged and competitors kept closing in. Now under the leadership of new CEO Jill Soltau it’s finally trying to stage a comeback."
