Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Andrew Marder]

  Finding value in J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP  ) is like looking for the Northwest Passage -- it probably doesn't exist, and even if it does, it's probably not worth it. The billionaire and philanthropist George Soros is the most recent man to try to turn J.C. Penney around. If you wanted to wish him luck, now is the time, before he disappears into the frozen wastes of the Canadian countryside forever.

Annalisa Linder If you remember the slogan, "the softer side of Sears," then you're the typical Sears age demographic, and if you never heard it, you are the younger shopper it desires but can't attract. Sears Holdings' (SHLD) sales have declined for years as it loses customers to Kohl's (KSS) and J.C. Penney and younger customers throng to Macy's. Most mall anchor stores are struggling. A recent Piper Jaffray survey found that teens aren't hanging out at the mall anymore and prefer a social "experience," preferably at a restaurant. Sears and Sears Holdings' Kmart stores have been hit particularly hard. CEO Eddie Lampert noted on the most recent earnings call that shoppers only visit three stores per mall trip now, compared to five in 2007. The Sadder Side of Sears
