      Sears Converges to Our $36 Fair Value Estimate; Shares Off Nearly 25% Today 
  Sears announced today that it would close between 100 and 200 stores (both of the Sears and Kmart variety) in an effort to shore up its finances as it struggles to compete with big-box retailers like Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Target. The troubled retailer also said that comparable same-store-sales continue to fall and that its earnings for the fourth-quarter would come in at less than half of last-year's levels. Valuentum subscribers were well aware of Sears' overvaluation as the firm now trades in-line with our $36 fair value estimate, after falling by roughly half since we initiated coverage of the retailer in early October.
