Copy edited. Word order, etc. (to make it much less awkward). Removed unnecessary formatting.

| Oct 22, 2022 at 20:21 | comment | added | Ron Maupin | Sears used to be very profitable, and it stock price reflected that. In the modern shopping trend, its profits are mostly non-existent, and it is on the verge of disappearance. Would you pour money into its stock based on past performance? (Sadly, I will miss Sears, and I was disappointed as it sold the brands that made it, e.g. Craftsman.) | |

| Oct 20, 2022 at 15:29 | comment | added | jjanes | If I am selling my stake now, why would someone else give more money for it just because I (hypothetically) made a lot of money on it in the past? They don't get that past money when they buy the current stake. | |
