Lehman Brothers Financial SA (LEHNQ)

IMO, Ace is a great hardware store for neighborhood DIY.

Home Depot & Lowe's can do a lot more of the large contracting business.

It is also an advantage that the business isn't a great fit for AMZN, who has to charge for delivery and can't check for fit at the location.

You can get a premium for that segment, especially if you had salespeople who knew what they were doing.

And, if you own the property, then all your paying for is property maintenance in addition to supplies and personnel.

But, large contracting? Not a great fit. Sometimes but larger stores can do it better.

In a lot of ways it's the same in the financial sector: Different brands known for different products and with good reason.

Same with attorneys claiming a particular expertise.

Good luck.
