3. Let’s see an old brokerage firm bought Sears and they were known as “stocks and socks” – so what would we call Google and Sears Holdings – search and socks ?

   Info on Sears Holdings Corporation, is publicly traded (NASDAQ: SHLD) parent of Kmart and Sears, Roebuck and Co., is the nation’s fourth largest broadline retailer with over $50 billion in annual revenues and approximately 3,800 full-line and specialty retail stores in the United States and Canada.

4. The brilliant financier and hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert turned around K-Mart and merged it with Sears. The stock is struggling, like Yahoo, but Lampert’s investing strategy is long-term, as is Google’s.

   John’s one liner struck me as funny on so many levels. I can’t guess his “database of intentions” but I’m glad he came up with the absurd notion of Google buying Sears.

   Besides, explaining a joke never works.

5. Google is similar to Sears in many ways. A few core products that people like and a smattering of a lot of other stuff that they probably only break even on.
