Home Depot Inc (HD)

[ResearchDD]

Yes!! HD.. is one of the top picks in this market . I sold all my 5 to 7 year holdings on Friday! HD-AAPL-DPZ-MCD-FB...Read my comments! The market moves in 7 to 8 year cycles. 2009 crash,2001 crash,1994 crash.1986 crash. I'm am taking profits not greedy . But I believe a major correction or crash before 2017 is coming . Imo history has a way of repeating itself. GLTA

It is a solid Company with great fundamentals. Absolutely astounding as to the flagrant "PPS manipulation" ongoing in a Stock this price.
Usually this occurs in stocks of a much lesser price by using the HFT exchanges so they can rapidly manipulate many more shares for the .03 per share per trade rebate.
Bottom line is a Stock this price has to be manipulated by big money accounts.

[Holyschnitt]

This is as solid of a stock as is gets... Construction will always be booming, only one true competitor, & strong dividend.

[Equitiesduke]

This "manipulation" in HD Stock is really odd to say the least. Given the PPS we see a short/buy/sell/buy like some much lesser priced equities! The good news is the fundamentals are certainly there in HD so the Stock has "legs", which to those of us with many years in this market, and others, know it is simply that, manipulation. The shorts buy back their shorted shares at a lower PPS. Using HFT exchanges, they get a "rebate" of .03 cents per share per trade. Direction of trade is meaningless. Talk about a cash cow!
\Been happening to stocks in financial sector sine Obuma and Dodd-Frank messed up the financial equities. Fortunately BAC will spike soon as Dodd-Frank is going away perhaps in total. Regardless, money will be available soon to boost our Economy!

[ResearchDD]

HD is in the top 5 of all stocks to buy long term! Period! Bottom line , plain and simple!!!!!!!!! Held this for almost 6 years ! I'm not selling!!!!!!!!!

[Equitiesduke]

They do , like most retail establishments have a issue with race problems. You get a lousy employee of a non White race and they ALWAYS play the "race card". See it all the time in the courts. Most now lose thankfully as they must prove race was the proximate cause of their usually dismissal. Store usually can produce a witness or many that the employee was not good, bad attitude, trouble maker, anti-White or other. "CASE DISMISSED"! As it should be!
HD has a strong set of fundamentals, promising future and improving revenues. What you are seeing in this spike/drop scenario is "manipulation", plain and obvious as divy of record is forthcoming. HD ex-div. date is May 30th, record date is June 1 per their website. Divy is .89 cent per share. Not too bad in this market.
Suggest one avoid the stores with a mostly black employment roster. They will look for something that "Whitey" caused, even if they have to create a problem. Fortunately HD is wise to this and has many,many security cameras all over the stores.
Keep a lot of HD Stock. Looking for maybe a 3 for 2 split later this year. Some dilution, yes, but at say $55. or so per share we would see a rapid capital appreciation.
We vets want to wish all a Happy Memorial Day Celebration, and memory of those lost so we may be here doing this. God Rest Their Souls.

True, but with all the expansion HD has seen over the past 30years, they are bound to have a few locations with issues.
I've been in some that you can eat off the floor and employees are awesome helpful.

I live in the 8th richest city per capita in America, and 2 miles from me is a war zone of black on black crime.
My HD is on the line. It's the pool of employees they are stuck with.
Not all locations are subject to this personality.
I think my store #880 has the highest shoplifting rate in the nation.
Like being a Carrier pilot in the Navy, someone is going to have the bottom score of deck landings. Can't judge the lot from one.

If one lives in Dixie, it's an everyday thing.

I wish HD would allow pot heads to rehire. They lost some excellent employees back then.
Hell most of their customers come in high in stuff.
Especially those painters. We all know how high they are. LOL

And FWIW, those online surveys you get on your receipts, HD reads every one. Put that in your hardware Bible.

HD will do just fine.
Funny, did you know they control their store locations from HD head quarters in Atlanta?
Found that out this week.
Crazy weather in BAMA. Store #880 has no control.

[fsantes]

What is Prospectus Filed Pursuant to Rule ? Is this a good or bad thing.. anyone can help with understanding it please

[Equitiesduke]

You are just experiencing the anti-White attitude ? Brought on by Obuma with deliberate purpose. We see it everywhere now, and it gets worse as one dares go near ANY inner city. Beware.
On HD, Company is in a very strong position and is outperforming Lowe's big time. Hd seems to be a new "manipulated" Stock, however, agree a split will be very helpful. Even a 3 for 2 will be O.K.
Company knows they have a issue with the blacks, but then they do not want to have to get "played" with the use of the "race card" so prevalent now.

Lumber is like liquor. No one makes a good margin on that.
It's tight for everyone.
If your Company wants to increase your overhead and your customers will support your higher prices, then stick it to HD.
The stock is still going to split and it's going to run like no other afterwards.
And the paid dividend is pure gold.

I'm very fortunate. I have 3 HD and 3 Lowes very close to me, numerous local lumber yards as well.
I always find myself heading back to the HD I dog cuss on a regular basis.

Buying high gloss black paint today, window razor blades and Scotts fertilizer.
LOL.

I'm very partial to HD. They can get under your skin.
Arthur Blanks bought my Dads hospital in Atl, metropolitan eye, ear nose and throaght to build his personal office. I think the old man will retire on HD dividends.

Blue chip stock, your concerns will only make the company stronger.
I applaud you for getting in their face. Shows you care.

[I-Man]

My company NOT buying here any longer. Their supposed "vendors" all are meeting with us and told us they will deal direct to our company, so no more damn HD middlemen to muddle up our customers' needs or delays on orders...

Most of their construction material product is low quality, as we already do not buy from them, but traditional true lumber yards out of state even who sell us Prime + grade lumber- something HD or Lowes will never nor can ever do... They both sell SH!!T wood products today... As the average person off the street has no idea just how much they are paying for such low quality heap garbage lumber product today there...

And as far as CEO, we already contacted by their offices and want to meet as they do not want to lose our business (at Hickory, NC store) we have given them, but I am tired of this BS from such corps any longer today. Millions of people are all over the country are as well...

[fink]

Damn! Not sure where all that came from or it's meaning?
HD is high volume, strong brand, one size fits all, and one stop shopping.

I think I have the worst HD in the nation. Store 880.
They have the worst racist employees I have ever seen.
If your not black, good luck getting any help.
I've ripped that store from one end to another with my receipts surveys, but it makes money. Tons of money.
God forbid needing 48 bundles of roofing shingles close to shift change. And being a white guy!
The apes will sit on a forklift and just look at you.
We all have our HD gripes, but we continue to shop there.
HD lost it when they went to the strict drug testing.
They lost many awesome employees.
It's the Walmart of hardware.
One pissed off customer won't make any difference.
You'll still buy there. I do. I hate my store 880

The stock will split and then take off. It's going to be a cash cow for shareholders now.
Buy any dip.

[I-Man]

Retail customers have no idea behind scenes with this company and why professional construction people like us no longer will give them our monies or business... They sell inferior product today mostly. NOT what our customers want.

Be careful! This is a smoke & mirrors game being played on foolish public citizens.

Home Depot (Lowes included) today, operate as pseudo "General Contractors" yet sidestep State or other required licensing and business costs we are all required to abide by under Law, creating major unfair playing field for those legitimate licensed construction businesses out there, and it will cease! THEY both employ retirees or others who cannot make it out there in the trades and use them like retail slaves today to ONLY sell product whether proper for a job or not...

They use loopoles and tricky filings and actually do not care about their end users or products, but simply to "sell any product at highest profit markup we can"... And in the end, always blame their listed bottom-of-the trade lowball Installers for problems and place liability on them..

Home Depot (LOWES too) do not take responsibility and have created a lot of bad blood out there they try to spin and keep from the public and it is now slowly coming to revelation for what and who they truly are. Worthless ! They scam people in a name in an elaborate way...

[I-Man]

I wrote Mr. Craig Menear letter from our company to recent events at the Hickory, NC region store and assanine problems there PLUS fact they do not give a damn about established private local licensed construction industry people and treat them the same manner they do those old retirees bringing in their dogs on a Saturday buying maybe some grass seed.

We effectively cut all our business off from this location now due to continued losses they cause our company in inferior product and misplaced orders and inept employees altogether!

That is NOT any way to run a respectable business at the grassroots level or gain a professional reputation.

Their Saturday morning shown with Danny Lipford isn't going to save them either...

[fink]

All the cash it makes is the pump.
Plus home buying is up and that's good for HD.
Maybe if Trump will cut an entire interest point like he said he would do, home buying will get back to make America Great again.,

Wait for the stock split.
It will run so hard North.
I'd be buying all the shares one can.

Home Depot, in a word, is SH!!T today to Independent licensed local contractors.

Where I operate in Hickory, NC region (cover 5 counties), Home Depot here is useless and employees are as bad as the local Lowes regarding countertop and other similar special orders- always lieing to (non HD/LOWES Installer) contractors and orders screwed up time & again!

We have one countertop order right now almost 10 weeks still not in with everyone in the chain from HD to WebDon to Preston Woodworking, et all blaming each other for delays... WTF going on! THEY all get a paycheck!!! Nobody gives a damn about our local customers who cannot have their bathroom or kitchens finished (we do not get paid either) because of these ongoing repeated delays time & again...

Have seen multiple times patio door orders come in wrong and countertop orders wrong, and instead of them (HD) donating to say Habitat for Humanity (get tax writeoff), they destroy/break them up with sledge hammers!!!

What a bunch of wasteful stupid corps today, affecting local licensed contractors, as they BOTH act like General Contractors, Never licensed to do such, yet employ bottom of barrel Installers making them libel for damages, so HD or Lowes can get away skirt free with no "responsibility" ONLY thinking about their bottom lines-

[Holyschnitt]

Pop as in a nice 1.5% :)

[MikeBK205]

Pop as in $50+ a share?

[Holyschnitt]

This is gonna pop after earnings tomorrow.. I see 200 by end of year

[Equitiesduke]

In addendum, etc.:

ALL the gurus we confer with, like Jeffries, M/L, G/S have raised their "target" on HD. Latest is Jeffries this AM. Now at 180.
We look for a good EPS report this next week.
Maybe a 1.5 for 1 spit??? Even a 2 for 1 is possible. 1.2 B in the float right now. They are also buying back shares.

[Equitiesduke]

Interesting viewing seen this AM.
At a HFT exchange just off Wall and Broad. Incredible as to how a higher priced Stock as is HD can be so easily "manipulated". Also known as "front running" by the HFT exchanges, and there are 13 of them. Just look at HD this morning!
Usually it is the lower priced equities that are so manipulated as there can be many more shares traded per trade where the brokers, funds, etc. make their .03 per share, per trade "rebate"(sic). Kickback would be more appropriate!
EPS look good, revs look solid , so what's not to like? HD has 1.2 Billion in the float, so a split would dilute, but rapidly recoverable. Most gurus we talk with see HD as a $200. PPS Equity this year!Do your own DD.
Market is "horse schitt" this day.

[Equitiesduke]

Also own lots of this Stock. Interesting as to how much HD is now being manipulated,..seeing it at some of the 13 HFT exchanges. It has become a "cash cow" just like BAC.

Who's been pumping this worthless pos sad of a company lately anyways ?

How To Trade Yesterday's Home Depot (HD) Topping Tail

New all-time highs seem almost normal in this market. Countless stocks hit new-all time highs almost every day. This is exactly what has happened with Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD). Yesterday, Home Depot surged to a all-time high of $154.65. The difference however, was that the stock reversed those gains and closed near the lows of the day. This formed a stock chart candle called a topping tail. topping tails that occur at 52 week or all-time highs are extremely bearish indicators. Technical investors and traders use this signal as a shorting trigger.

The way investors should trade this is simple. Short Home Depot Inc with a downside target of $139.25. However, if the stock every closes above the high of the topping tail of $154.65, stop out immediately. This gives investors tiny risk of less than $1.00 while rewarding investors with possible downside of $15.00. That is a fantastic risk to reward setup.

Extreme Trade Alert: Home Depot $HD Poised To Move Here...

I am short Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) based on multiple indicators showing an extreme overbought condition. The fact that Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) has chopped sideways over the last few months, shows institutional selling as funds and small investors buy. This is a passing off of the hot potato before the fall.

Ultimately, when the trend line below breaks (seen in the chart below), Home Depot $HD will collapse quickly. The downside target I have near-term is $135.00. In addition, investors should be very concerned with the recent jobs data and lack of mortgage loans being taken out. This may show signs of a weakening economy. If that is the case, Home Depot $HD will see the brunt of the slowdown in sales and revenues.
