Abstract

The article presents information about the performance of stocks of six top business enterprises in Chicago, Illinois. Sears, Roebuck and Co. has steadily lost market share the past 20 years to discounters and specialty merchants. But due to big stock buybacks, its stock has been performing well in the market. Walgreen Co. faces a serious challenge to its pharmacy business from mail-order drugs. If the company can embrace mail-order itself on a large scale, its employees can consider buying its stocks.
