Been waiting long tiime for this one and back in this morning on a hunch. Go private deal may be in the works given that Lampert is flush with cash and Ackman is looking for cash. Still think he will settle for $30 even though he thinks stock is worth much more. Why do deal now vs. later. I think Ackman is more prepared to deal now and may not later when general economy, especially Target, one of his big losers improve.
Lampert may just bite the bullet and do the deal.
Lots of synergy opportunities and gains full control of the best performing part of Sears Holdings. Time seems right.
