Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP is unloading its 39 million shares—nearly 18% of Penney's stock—with help from Citigroup Inc., which underwrote the sale.

Citigroup reached agreements to sell the shares to new buyers at $12.90 each, a person familiar with the matter said. That was well below their closing price Monday of $13.35 and close to half the roughly $25 apiece that Pershing Square paid for the shares, mostly in 2010 and 2011...

I guess JC Penney didn’t want to show the night time picture where these two “parents” were buggering each other.

My advice to the children is don’t get to attached to any hamster or gerbil you convince your two dads to buy you.

As for men’s clothes, JCP has very good quality at good prices when you wait for sales and close outs.

Should they go bankrupt, I could see them succeeding with an online clothing store.
