I was a loyal customer a long time before being acquired by SHLD. Now that they're no longer a part of EL's organization, I am happy and will start to purchase their product again.
But, as an stock purchase, what say you? Right now, my sole thesis is buying what you know, and, while this is essentially a new company, I can't help but think what they were before was very good and they'll be smart to go back to the same business model and marketing practices along with the high quality goods and services.
OK, let 'er rip!
